Ovis, canis, et lupus.

Solent mendaces luere poenas malefici.
Calumniator ab ove cum peteret canis,
Quem commendasse panem se contenderet,
Lupus citatus testis non unum modo
5Deberi dixit, verum affirmavit decem.
Ovis damnata falso testimonio
Quod non debebat solvit. Post paucos dies
Bidens iacentem in fovea conspexit lupum:
Haec inquit merces fraudis a superis datur.
Fabulae Aesopiae. Phaedrus, Augusti libertus. L. Mueller. Leipzig. B. G. Teubner. 1876.
