FAB. VIII. The Fox in the Well.
The Fox in a deep well implores the aid,Of a grace wolfe, who many questions made,
How he came there, the Fox halfe drown'd replyes
Oh cease vaine words & help thy friend that ayes.
Morall
Men oft good Counsell can bestow in griefe,But with no reall good will bring reliefe.
