65. Of the Man that was bitten by a Dog.
1. A Man, when a dog had bitten him, earnestly enquired for one that
could cure him.
2. One that met him, and was asked concerning a Doctor, said; Friend,
if you would be made whole, you need no Doctor.
3. For if the dog that bit you, do but lick the blood from the wound,
there is nothing in the world better than that cure.
4. The other laughing at him, saith very wittily, If I shall use such
a remedy as this, I shall be bitten by the dogs every day more and more.
Mor. This fable signifieth, that bad men use to requite ill turns for
good turns, and mischiefs for benefits.
