A SWALLOW, returning from abroad and especially fond of dwelling
with men, built herself a nest in the wall of a Court of Justice
and there hatched seven young birds.  A Serpent gliding1 past the
nest from its hole in the wall ate up the young unfledged
nestlings.  The Swallow, finding her nest empty, lamented2 greatly
and exclaimed:  "Woe3 to me a stranger! that in this place where
all others' rights are protected, I alone should suffer wrong."
