Within doore lockes her tender Kids,
and open them to none shee bids
Till her returne, a Wolfe that lay
In ambush, heard what they did say,
And at the doore anon he beats,
And Goats voice quaintly counterfets
Commands the Kids to open doore,
For shee had brought them victuals store:
Much good may doe you quoth a Kid,
But we will doe, as we were bid;
For though your voice is like a Goate,
Y'are Wolfe I know you by your coat.
Morall.
From hence this lesson learne we may,
Tis good our parents to obey;
Old folke doe give us best advice,
The young which hearken too't are wise.
