FAB. CII. The Herdsman.
A Herdsman rangd about the Fields, to findA Heyfer, he had lost, and made a Vow,To sacrifice a Kid to Iupiter,If he would shew him where his strayd Beast was;After long search, he found him in a Wood,And a fierce Lion, feasting on his blood:Then being ready to fall dead with fear,O Iove, said he, I promisd thee a Kid,If thou wouldst shew me who had stole my Steer,Conduct me back in safety to my House,I'll give thee the best Bullock in my Stall.

The Gods know best what's fit for them to grant,Men often pray for that, they had better want.
