TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>LITTLE fish! why come you skimming<lb/>
                                        On the surface as you do?<lb/>
                                        Deeper down you should be swimming,<lb/>
                                        That's the fitter place for you.<lb/>
                                        Here above, great sea-mews hover,<lb/>
                                        Keen of eye, and swift of flight;<lb/>
                                        And for such as you moreover,<lb/>
                                        Have a wondrous appetite.<lb/>

                                        Here alone, the kings of ocean<lb/>
                                        May with safety dare the light,<lb/>
                                        But how came you by the notion<lb/>
                                        Thus to brave the eagle's figth?<lb/>
                                        Every kind of little creature<lb/>
                                        Should its proper station know;<lb/>
                                        And your fitter place by nature,<lb/>
                                        Is much rather- down below.<lb/>
                                        But if little Bleaks disport them,<lb/>
                                        Like the porpoise and the whale,<lb/>
                                        While so heedless they comport them,<lb/>
                                        Danger must their lives assail.<lb/>
                                        Little fishes undertaking<lb/>
                                        What the great alone may do,<lb/>
                                        Like all, who their part mistaking,<lb/>
                                        Soon or late their folly rue.</p>
                                   <p>Every little fish expects to become a whale. He who would be every where will <lb/>

                                        DOES not always what he ought.<lb/>
                                        SEMPRE ha torto il piu debole.<lb/>
                                        A cader va chi troppo in alto sale.<lb/>
                                        ON ne doit jamais prétendre à des droits qu'on ne scauroit soutenir.<lb/>
                                        Quien siempre hace lo que quiere.<lb/>
                                        No hace siempre lo que debe. - Spanish Proverb.<lb/>
                                        TRASPASA el rico las leyes, y es castigado el pobre.<lb/>
                                        THE rich man transgresses the law, and the poor man is punished.</p>

                                        A PRUDENT man froeseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and<lb/>

                                        Without the stamp of merit! Let none presume<lb/>
