FAB. LX.

A _Wolfe_, a _Lamb_, and a _Goat_.

As a _Lamb_ was following a Goat, Up comes a _Wolfe_, wheedling, to get

him aside, and make a Breakfast of him: Why what a Fool art thou, says

the _Wolfe_; that may’st have thy Belly full of Sweet Milk at Home, to

leave thy _Mother_ for a Nasty Stinking _Goat_! Well, says the _Lamb_,

but my Mother has Plac’d me here for my Security; and you’d fain get me

into a Corner to Worry me. Pray’e, which of the Two am I to Trust to Now?

The MORAL.

_Where there’s the Order of a Parent on the One side, and the Advice of

an Ill Man, and a Profess’d Enemy, on the Other, in Opposition to That

Command; Disobedience would be Undoubtedly the Ready Way to Destruction._
