MART. EP. XV.
LIB. 6.
Dum Phaetontea formica vagatur in umbra,
Implicuit tenuem succina gutta feram,
Dignum tantorum
pretium tulit illa laborum:
Credibile est ipsam sic
voluisse mori.
ENGLISHED.
Whilst in an
amber-shade the ant doth feast,
A gummy drop ensnares
the small wild-beast,
A full reward of all her toyls
hath she;
'Tis to be thought she would her self so
die.
