The Goat and the Goatherd

A Goatherd in a fit of scorn
Cracked with a stone a Nanny's horn.
Unskilled to mend with paste or plaster,
He begged her not to tell his master.
" You're quite as silly, sir, as violent —
The horn will speak, though I be silent. "

MORAL

Man oft repents of what he did —
For wicked deeds cannot be hid.
