AS a Dog slept in a court before the house of his Mayster, a Wolfe came sodainely and caught him: whome, as he would haue kil∣led, the Dogge besought, saying: Good maister spare me now bicause I am leane and thinne as thou séest, but if thou wilte tarrie, there shall be within these fewe dayes a great mariage kept at my Lordes, where I will so fill me and make me so fatte, that then I shall doe thée more good.
The Wolfe crediting his wordes, let him goe. Shortly after the wolfe came and found the dog sléeping vpon the house top, to whome he called as he stode beneathe, willing him to perfourme his promis: Nay verily (quod the Dogge) but if from henceforth thou finde me sléeping without doores, tary not at al, vpon hope of any Mariage.
MOR. The burnt hand euer after feareth the fire.
