hunc ubi silvarum repetentem lustra suarum ieiunum coniunx sensit adesse lupa, cur inquit nullam referens de more rapinam languida consumptis sic trahis ora genis? ne mireris ait deceptum fraude maligna vix miserum vacua delituisse fuga: nam quae praeda, rogas, quae spes contingere posset, iurgia nutricis cum mihi verba darent? haec sibi dicta putet seque hac sciat arte notari, femineam quisquis credidit esse fidem.
The wolf repaired to the lair in his native woods, and his mate, seeing him arrive famished, said, Why dont you bring back the usual prey? Why are your cheeks wasted and your jaws so drawn and emaciated? A mean trick took me in, he said; so dont be surprised that I have been hard put to it to skulk pitifully away'with no spoil. What kill, do you ask, could come my way? what prospect could there be, when a scolding nurse befooled me? Let anyone who believes in a womans sincerity reflect that to him these words are spoken and that it is he whom this lesson censures.
