LatinViaFables.com: I'm continuing to work my way through the 15th-century Latin fables of Abstemius! With each fable I'm posting the Latin text, a segmented Latin text, along with an English translation by me, plus the rollicking 17th-century translation by Sir Roger L'Estrange. Today's fable is De Aucupe et fringilla: The Bird-Catcher and the Finch. Even if you have never been hunting, you can probably relate to the bird-catcher who has big plans, but isn't quite able to pull them off!
