A LION, fatigued¹ by the heat of a summer's day, fell fast asleep
in his den². A Mouse ran over his mane and ears and woke him from
his slumbers³. He rose up and shook himself in great wrath⁴, and
searched every corner of his den to find the Mouse. A Fox seeing
him said: "A fine Lion you are, to be frightened of a Mouse."
"'Tis not the Mouse I fear," said the Lion; "I resent his
familiarity and ill-breeding."

Little liberties are great offenses⁵.
