BESTIARIA PROVERBS: There are some new animal proverbs today for GRUS, the crane, and MULUS, the mule. Here's a nice one: Mulus clarum collo iactans tintinnabulum, "The mule, shaking the shiny bell on his neck" (something you would say to make fun of a ridiculous person who is boasting about something, like a mule who seems to think he is some fine kind of horse; the saying is derived from one of the fables of Phaedrus).

FABULAE FACILES: The new easy-to-read fable is Aquila et Vulpes, the story of the eagle who stole the fox's pups.

Elizabethan Proverb Commentary: Here is today's proverb commentary, this time by Taverner: Dulcia non meruit, qui non gustavit amara: That is to say, he hath not deserved the swete, whiche hath not taste the sowre.
