Lupus et vulpes iudice simio.

Quicumque turpi fraude semel innotuit,
Etiam si verum dicit, amittit fidem.
Hoc attestatur brevis Aesopi fabula.
Lupus arguebat vulpem furti crimine;
5Negabat illa se esse culpae proximam.
Tunc iudex inter illos sedit simius.
Uterque causam cum perorassent suam,
Dixisse fertur simius sententiam:
Tu non videris perdidisse quod petis;
10Te credo surripuisse quod pulchre negas.
Fabulae Aesopiae. Phaedrus, Augusti libertus. L. Mueller. Leipzig. B. G. Teubner. 1876.
