FAB. LXIX. The Nurse and Wolf.

A Nurse, to make her Bantling cease to cry
Told it, the Wolf shoud eat it instantly,
This heard the Wolf and for his prey he waits,
But the Child slept, and all his hopes defeats.

Morall

Trust not a womans vows, her fickle mind
Is far less constant than the seas, and wind.
