Fab. V. The Lamb and Wolf.
A Lamb, out of a Room three Stories high,
Raild at a Wolf, as he was passing by,
Calling him ravenous Beast, Murderer, Thief,
And all the opprobrious Names he could rake up.
The Wolf marchd gravely on as unconcernd;
Yet he was heard to say, as he withdrew,
It is the place rails at me, tis not you.
