Fab. XLI. The Boar and Dog.
A Boar and Dog happned to disagree,
And many bitter words betwixt them passd,
At length the provokd Hog by Venus swore,
To kill the Dog, if he did not give ore.
To whom the Dog, canst thou by Venus swear?
Who has thee in such detestation,
That whosoever eats thy unclean Flesh,
May not approach unto her Sacred Shrine.
The Boar replyd, the Goddess could not shew
A clearer Evidence of her Love to me,
Than to count those unholy, and profane,
Who rejoyce in my Death, and eat my Flesh.
And many bitter words betwixt them passd,
At length the provokd Hog by Venus swore,
To kill the Dog, if he did not give ore.
To whom the Dog, canst thou by Venus swear?
Who has thee in such detestation,
That whosoever eats thy unclean Flesh,
May not approach unto her Sacred Shrine.
The Boar replyd, the Goddess could not shew

Than to count those unholy, and profane,
Who rejoyce in my Death, and eat my Flesh.
