Aesop's Fables and Other Parables: Odo of Cheriton
24. DE LUPO ET AGNO BIBENTIBUS.
Perry 155
Contra opprimentes pauperes.
Lupus et Agnus biberunt de eodem riuulo, et ait Lupus: Quare turbas aquam
meam? Et ait Agnus: Non turbo, quia uos bibitis superos, et aqua fluit
de uobis ad me. Et ait Lupus: Maledicte, contradicis mihi, et es ita audax?
Et statim deuorauit Agnum.
Ita diuites pro nulla causa, qualitercumque respondeant pauperes, ipsos
deuorant.
 The
Latin text of Odo shown here is taken from Léopold Hervieux, Les fabulistes
latins depuis le siècle d'Auguste jusqu'à la. fin du Moyen-Age (1893-1899).
There is a delightful English translation of Odo by John Jacobs, which is still
in print. It's a lovely book!
