Listen to:
The Mouse That Fell into the Pot (:27)
by Babrius
turned into English metre by James Davies, M.A. (1860)
performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode
A mouse into a lidless broth-pot fell;
Choked with the grease, and bidding life farewell,
He said, "My fill of meat and drink have I
And all good things: 'Tis time that I should die."
Thou art that dainty mouse among mankind,
If hurtful sweets are not by thee declined.
