Since frost itself can burn,
since a king can be his own fool,
since even a rodent thinks well of himself sometimes,

Doubt not that a man may fish with a worm today
that hath eaten of a rodent yesterday,
that was beloved of a king the day before.

For stranger things than even these
have passed for truth in this all-too-natural world.
