This book is in Latin, so for the text I have used Christopher Smart's verse translation of Phaedrus, which you can find at Project Gutenberg. Smart omits some fables that he found to be too crude, including the woman in childbirth, the ass insulting the boar, the ominous sheep (one of my personal favorites), and the dog ambassadors to Jupiter (another personal favorite). I will find other translations to use for those.
