Two Game Cocks, having fought a battle, the defeated one skulked1 away and hid, but the victor mounted a wall and crowed lustily. This attracted the attention of a hawk2, who said:
“Behold! how pride goeth before a fall.”
So he swooped3 down upon the boasting bird and was about to destroy him, when the vanquished4 Cock came out of his hiding-place, and between the two the Hawk was calamitously5 defeated.
