Feles super fornacem sedet.
Mitram gerit,
baculo suo innitens.
Mures et sorices convocat
et eis dicit,
"Episcopus sum, ut videtis;
ad benedictionem meam inclinate,
mihi obedientes."
Antiquus sorex sic feli respondet,
"Carius est mihi
ut moriar paganus
quam quod fiam christianus
sub vestra manu."
Tunc ergo mures et sorices,
a benedictione ipsius fugientes,
se occultant in suis latebris.
Feles mitram exuit
et episcopatum deponit.
