Truth in Fiction | ||
A
Wolf, that did, with some Displeasure, note
A Lamb, that fed close by his Guardian-Goat,
Told the young Wanton, He was much to blame,
To quit, for that rank Beast, his sweeter Dam:
And with sweet Words advis'd him to be gone;
In hope to seize him when he was alone.

In hope to seize him when he was alone.
The Lamb reply'd, My Mother's tender Care
Has, for my greater Safety, plac'd me here:
I will her Counsel, Sir, not yours, obey;
For you wou'd eat me, were my Guard away.
