L'Estrange: A Wolf and a Sow

A Wolf came to a Sow, that was just lying down, and very kindly offer’d to take care of her Litter. The Sow as civilly thank’d her for her Love, and desir’d she wou’d be pleas’d to stand off a little, and do her the good Office at a distance.

There are no Snares so dangerous as those that are laid for us under the Name of good Offices.
