1. Ovem Lupo commisisti
Esp. Entregar las ovejas al lobo
Ing. You have given the wolf the weather to keep
"Entregar las ovejas al lobo," you have trusted the sheep to the care of the wolf, the geese to the keeping of the fox. This may be said of a parent who has left his children in the hands of rapacious guardians, who will fleece them of their property, not husband and preserve it: a misfortune which happened to Erasmus. When in conversation we have disclosed any thing to those who should not have known it, and who will be enabled to injure persons whom they wish to oppress; it may be said, you have now put him in the power of his enemy; "you have given the wolf the weather to keep."
