A DOE hard pressed by hunters sought refuge in a cave belonging
to a Lion.  The Lion concealed¹ himself on seeing her approach,
but when she was safe within the cave, sprang upon her and tore
her to pieces.  "Woe² is me," exclaimed the Doe, "who have escaped
from man, only to throw myself into the mouth of a wild beast?' 


In avoiding one evil, care must be taken not to fall into
another.
