Reading edition
THE WOLF AND THE SHEPHERD'S BOY.
In wantonness a shepherd's boy
Alarm'd the neighbor's with his cry;
"The wolf! the wolf!" And when they came,
Of their lost labor made his game.
At last the wolf when there indeed,
His real cries they did not heed;
He and his flock a prey were made,
And for his lies he dearly paid.
Those who are known to have deceiv'd,
When they speak truth, are not believ'd.
