Moral and political fables | ||
Fab. XXXVI. The Fox and Wolf.
A Fox, by chance, into a deep Pit fell,Being in fear of death, cryd out aloud,
And begd a Wolf to let him down a Rope.
The Wolf lookd gravely into th' Pit, and askd
What News? whence came you? whither were you bound?
When fell you in? how long have you been there?
And many such impertinent Demands.
To whom the Fox, first help me out, and then
I'll answer, your what? whence? whither? & when?
The Moral.
When thy Friend wants, ask him no needless Questions.36
Another out of Jac. Catts. That is
If thy Friend's in need,Help him with speed.
Another out of the same. That is
Delay not Friends, who thy assistance beg,But forthwith crush the Cockatrice i'th' Egg.
