Roger L'Estrange, Fables of Æsop and Other Eminent Mythologists… (1692)
“ As the Wolfe here, that had a Plot upon the Kid, was Confounded by a Counter-Plot of the Kids upon the Wolfe: And such a Counter-Plot it was too, as the Wolfe with All his Sagacity was not able to Smell out. Wherefore let no Man Presume too much upon his Own Strength, either of Body or of Mind; but Consider within himself, that Heaven takes Part with the Oppressed; and that Tyrants Themselves are upon their Behavior to a Superior Power. ”
