FAB. XV. The Wolf and Goat.

The Wolf endeavor'd to perswade the Lamb,
To leave her Gardian Goat, and to her Damm
To trust her selfe with him, but she reply'd,
I know his friendship, yours I never try'd.

Morall

He that old Loves, and Friends forsakes for new,
Deserves no Mistress, nor a friend that's true.
