FAB. LIX. The Shepherd's Boy.
A wanton rurall boy with false alarms,Oft frights the shepherds with approaching harmes
But when indeed ye Wolf surpris'd a Lambe
Deceiv'd before, none to his rescue came.
Morall
Deceitfull tongues no creditt can infuse,An tho' even truths they tell, they pass for lyes.
