A _Shepherd_ and a _Wolves Whelp_.
A _Shepherd_ took a Sucking Whelp of a _Wolfe_, and Train’d it up with
his Dogs. This _Whelp_ fed with ’em; Grew up with ’em, and whensoever
they went out upon the Chace of a _Wolfe_, the _Whelp_ would be sure to
make one. It fell out sometimes that the _Wolfe_ scap’d, and the Dogs
were forc’d to go Home again: But this _Domestique Wolfe_ would be still
Hunting on, ’till he came up to his _Brethren_, where he took part of
the Prey with them; and so back again to his Master. It happen’d now and
then, that the _Wolves abroad_ were pretty Quiet for a Fit: So that this
_Whelp_ of a _Wolfe_ was fain to make Bold ever and anon with a Sheep in
Private by the By; but in the Conclusion, the _Shepherd_ came to find out
the Roguery, and Hang’d him up for his Pains.
The MORAL.
_False Men are no more to be Reclaim’d then Wolves, and the Leven of the
Predecessors Sowers the Bloud, in the very Veins of the Whole Family._
