The Man Bit by a Dog

10. THE MAN BIT BY A DOG.
A furious Dog had bit a Man,
Who to a wise old woman ran,
Held for her skill in high repute,
And famed for curing man and brute.
The crone prescribed a lump of bread,
Well soaked into the wound that bled,
Which, when the furious dog had eaten,
Would cure the man that he had bitten.
Aesop, who heard the sage advice,
Said, "All the dogs will seek a slice;
Your secret keep as well's you can,
Or every cur will bite a man."
The Mad Dog Bites His Master
Indiscriminate Alms is Not Charity

090. A MAN BIT BY A DOG. A man, who had been sadly torn by a dog, was advised by some old woman, as a cure, to dip a piece of bread in the wound, and give it to the cur that bit him. He did so; and Aesop happening to pass by just at the time, asked him what he meant by it; the man informed him.
“Why then,” says Aesop, “do it as privately as you can, I beseech you; for if the rest of the dogs of the town were to see you, we should all be eaten up alive by them.” [more info]

2.03. THE MAN AND THE DOG.
Torn by a Cur, a man was led
To throw the snappish thief some bread
Dipt in the blood, which, he was told,
Had been a remedy of old. Then
Esop thus:— “Forbear to show
A pack of dogs the thing you do,
Lest they should soon devour us quite,
When thus rewarded as they bite.”
One wicked miscreant’s success
Makes many more the trade profess. [more info]
