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:
"Behold3! how pride goeth before a fall."
So he swooped4 down upon the boasting bird and was about to destroy
him, when the vanquished5 Cock came out of his hiding-place, and
between the two the Hawk was calamitously6 defeated.
