Page from Early Printed Aesop (1501): Rana Rupta

From the complete facsimile version online at the University of Mannheim Library.

Equari vult rana bovi: tumet ergo. Tumenti Natus ait: "Cessa; pre bove tota nihil." Rana dolet meliusque tumet; premit ille tumentem: "Vincere non poteris, victa crepare potes." Tertius iratam vexat tumor; illa tumoris Copia findit eam: viscera rupta patent. Cum maiore minor conferri desinat et se Consulat et vires temperet ipse suas.
