A FLEA¹ settled upon the bare foot of a Wrestler² and bit him,
causing the man to call loudly upon Hercules for help. When the
Flea a second time hopped³ upon his foot, he groaned⁴ and said, "O
Hercules! if you will not help me against a Flea, how can I hope
for your assistance against greater antagonists⁵?'
