216 Of the Wolfe and the Lambe.

AS a Wolfe was drinking at the heade of a spryng, he espied a Lambe far beneath also drynking of the same spryng, wherat grud∣ging ran hastily to the Lamb & roughly rebuked him for troubling ye spring. The Lamb trēbling besought him to shewe compassiō on him, being therof giltlesse, alleaging that bicause he dranke far beneath him, by no meanes he could trouble his drinking, neyther yet meant it. The Wolfe hauing determined euen at the firste sighte, the deathe of the Lambe, threatned hym most rigo∣rously, saying: Thy labor is in vaine to aske pardon, for thou art alwayes my enimie, thy fa∣ther, thy mother, and all thy cursed kinred are willingly my foes: but this daye I will be re∣uenged of thee.

MOR. The mightie if he be desposed to hurte, easely findeth occasion thereto. A small is a great faulte, if a man deale with his Superiours.
