FAB. LX. The Goat in the Well.

The Goat implores the Fox (since he was freed
From the deep well) to help his friend wth speed,
But he replyd, ah foole did thy will bear
Proportion with thy beard, thoudst ne're been there.

Morall

Try friends before you of their kindnes boast,
Least they decline you when you need 'em most.
