009. THE WOLVES AND SHEEP.
A truce concluded was 'twixt wolves, and sheepe,
The wolves, their dogs as a firm hostage keepe,
The Sheepe, their whelps, who with design complaine,
Their Dames break in and slaughter o're the plaine.
Morall
Those who with foes too mighty make a peace
Give 'em but power to hurt 'em with more ease.
