Aesop's Fables in English and Latin, Interlinear: part 4

Here's the fourth part of Aesop's Fables in Latin with English written above from 1703, and available here. This interlineary method is so simple and effective that I think I'm going to use it for an IAL as well.

Of the Dog and the Ass
De   Cane   &   Asino

Whilst the Dog faun'd on the Master and
Dum     Canis blandirétur   hero     &

the Family, the Master and the Family stroak
familie,    herus     &    familia demulcent

the Dog. The Ass seeing this fetches a deep sigh:
Canem.   Aséllus videns hoc       gemit altius:

he began to be displeased with his own Condition:
    coepit eum pigére                 sortis:

He thinks that it is unjustly order'd, that
Putat               iníque comparátum,

the Dog should be pleasing to all, and should be fed
Canem     gratum  esse     conctis,     pascíque

from his Master's Table, and that he should get
     heríli mensá,      &       consequi

this by Idleness and by Play; that he himself, on
hoc    otio        ludóque;         sese,

the contrary, carried the Dorsers, was beaten
contra      portáre   clitéllas,   cedi

by the Whip, was  never    idle; and yet was
flagéllo,  esse nunquam otiosúm; & tamen

hated    by all. If these things come by fauning,
odiósum cunctis. Si    haec      fiant   blanditiis,

he resolved to follow that Art which  is  so
statuit     sectári  eam  artem que fit* tam

advantageous. Therefore, on a certain time
 utilis.    Igitur,     quodam     tempore,

to try   the thing, he runs   to meet his Master
tentatúrus rem,     procúrrit obviam       hero

returning home; leaps upon him, strikes him
redeúnti domum; subsilit,        pulsat

with his hoofs. The Master crying out, the Servants
 unguibus.      Hero      exclamánte,   Servi

run to him; and the silly Ass,    who thought
accurrére;  &  inéptus  Aséllus, qui credidit

himself to have been Courtly, is beaten.
 se     fuisse     urbánum,  vapulat.


MORAL.

We all cannot do all things: nor do all things
Omnes non possumus omnía:   nec      omnia

become all Men. Let every one do, let
decent  omnes.      Quisque  velit,

every one go about that which he is able.
quisque    tentit   id   quod  possit.



Of the Lion and the Mouse.
De   Leóne   &    Mure.


The Lion tired with heat and running,
Leo  fatigátus aestu    &  cursu,

was at rest under the shade, upon the green Grass.
quiscébat    sub umbrá,     super  viridi  gramine.

A troop of Mice running over his Back, he wakening,
Grege    Murum  percurrénte ejus tergum, experiéctus,

catches       one of them. The Captive
comprehéndit unum ex iis.    Captívus

begs      and cries, that he is unworthy with
supplicat & clamitat, esse      indígnum

whom the Lion should be angry. The Lion, judging
cui    Leo      irascátur.       Leo,   reputans

that there would be nothing of Credit in
       esse       níhil    laudis   in

the Death of such a little Beast, dismisses the
nece       tantílla*   bestiolae, demíttit

Prisoner. Not long after, the Lion, whilst he
captívum. Non diu  postea,  Leo,     dum

runs trough the Forest, falls into the Toils; he
currit  per saltum,    indicit in    plagas;

might roar, get out he could not. The Mouse
licet rugíre, exíre  non licet.     Mus

hears the Lion miserably   roaring, he knows his
audit Leónem miserabiliter rugiéntem, agnóscit

Voice, he creeps into the Holes, seeks the Knots
vocem,  repit     in  cuniculos, quaerit nodos

of the Cords; finds what he sought, and
laqueórum;   invenit   quaesítos,   &

being found, gnaws them asunder. The Lion
invéntos,     corródit.          Leo

scapes out of the Toils.
evádit   e      plagis.


MORAL.

This Fable recommends Clemency to Men in Power.
Haec fabula  suadet   clementiam    potentibus.

For    so unstable    are humane Affairs,
Etenim ut instabiles sunt humánae res,

Potentates themselves need sometimes the help
poténtes     ipsi     egente intérdum  ope

of the lowest. Wherefore a prudent Man, though
humiliórum.*    Quare     prudens  vir,   etsi

be can, will fear to hurt even a mean Man;
potest,  timébit   nocére  vel   vili homini;

but he who fears not to hurt another is very
verum qui  non timet nocére  alteri   valde

foolish. Why so? Because, although relying on
desipit. Quid ita? Quia,    etsi    fretus

his Power, he fears no body; perhaps hereafter
 potentia, metuit neminem; forsan,   olim

it will happen, that he may fear. For it is
    erit,       ut   metuat.      Nam

evident that it has happen'd to great and famous
constat       evenísse       magnis   clarísque

Kings, that either they have stood in need of the
Regibus, ut   vel     indiguerint

Favour of mean   Men,        or have fear'd
gratia vilium homuniciórum, vel  metuerit*

their Anger.
    iram.



Of the sick Kite.
De aegróto  Milvo.


The Kite lay        a bed now almost dying.
Milvus decunibébat lecto jam ferme moriens.

Intreats her Dam to go pray   the Gods.
Orat       matrem ire precátum Deos.

Her Mother answers, that there was no help
  Mater  respóndet,    nihil opis

to be hop'd for by her from the Gods, whose Holy
sperándum        illi    a   Diis,   quorum sacra

things and Altars he had violated so often by his
      &    aras   violásset      toties   suis

Rapines.
rapínis.


MORAL.

It is fit to worship the Gods;   for they assist
Decet    venerári  Superos; etenim illi juvant

the Godly, and oppose    the Wickedy. Being slighted
pios,     & adversántur  impios.       Neglecti

in Prosperity, they give no ear in Adversity.
in felicitáte,  non exaudiunt   in miseriá.

Wherefore be mindful of them in Prosperity,
Quare     sis memor   eorum  in fecúndus rebus,

that being call'd on in Adversity,   they may be
ut      vocátis     in adversis rebus  sint

ready at hand.
 praeséntes.



Of the Swallow and other Birds.
De  Hirundine   &  aliis Aviculis.


As soon as  Line was begun  to be sown,
Quam primum linum coeptum est seri,

the Swallow persuades the Birds to hinder the
Hirúndo    suadet    aviculis  impedíre

sowing, suggesting that there was a Design
seméntum, dictitans     fieri     insidias

against them. They laugh at her, call the Swallow
  sibi.    Illae irrídent,    vocant  Hirundinem

a silly Prophet. The Line growing up, and
stultum vatem.   Lino   surgénte,    &

green, she advices them again to pull up the Crop.
virescénte   monet      rersum evellere    sata.

Again they laugh at her. The Line grows ripe,
Iterum  irrídent.         Linum   maturéscit,

she exhorts them to destroy it as it stands. When
hortátur       populári     segeltem.*     Cum

they would not even then, hearken to her
  ne tunc quidem,       audírent

advising them, the Swallow leaving the Company
consuléntem,    Hirúndo    relícto    coetu

of the Birds, obtains to her self the Friendship
avium,     conciliat   sibi     amicitiam

of Man; enters into a League with him,
hominis;    init      foedus  cum  eo,

they live together, she entertains him with singing.
  cohabitátur,     demúlcet             cantu.

Out of the Flax Nets and Snares are made
E      lino   retia et laquei  fíunt

for the other Birds.
caeteris    avibus.



MORAL.

Many neither know to counsel themselves, nor
Multi  nec  norunt  consulere  sibi,     nec

do they hearken to one who advises them right.
 audiunt           consuléntem      recte.

But when they are in Danger and Adversity, then
Sed  com    sunt  in periculis & damnis,   tunc

at last they begin to be wise, and to condemn their
demum   incipiunt  sapere,      &  damnáre    suam

Sottishness. Then there is enough and more than
soecardiam.  Tunc    est    satis   supérque

enough of Counsel: They say this and that ought
       consilii: Inquiunt  hoc & illud oportuit

to have been done. But it's better to be Prometheus,
  factum.        Sed  praestat   esse  Prometheum,

than Epimetheus. These were Brothers,
quam Epimetheum.  Hi   fuére fratres,

their Names are Greek. To the one there was
nomina   sunt Graeca.  Alteri      erat

Counsel before, to the other after the thing
concilium ante,    alteri    post    rem:

[was done]: which the Interpretation of
          quod      interpretatio

their Names declares.
nominum     declárat.
