Rusticus laqueos in agro ponit
anseribus et gruibus,
quae semper germina devorant.
Sed cum anseribus et gruibus
ciconia una in laqueum incidit
et pes ei diffractus est.
Avis misera agricolam orat,
"O vir, quaeso:
me serva
immunemque dimitte,
et mei claudicantis miserere!
Nuperrime enim huc advolavi;
grus ego non sum, sed ciconia!
Nos ciconiae pientissimae sumus
omnium avium,
quod parentibus inservimus,
necessitatibus eorum prospicientes."
Agricola vehementer ridet et dicit,
"Satis ego te novi
et tu mihi ignota non es;
scio praeterea mores tuos pios.
Sed cum illis te cepi,
et cum illis quoque moritura es."
