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