“In True Lover

“You wicked child! I’ll throw you out
To make the wolf a meal!”
A nursemaid threatened with a shout
Of angry bluffing zeal.

The Dog and the Wolf / Better starve free than be a fat slave & there is nothing worth so much as liberty
A Country dog was pleased to meet
A Wolf, his wild relation,
And held a chat on this and that
In friendly conversation.
“Your life is hard,” the dog declared.
“You often miss your dinner.
So come with me and you will see
A regular meat-winner.
The Wolf and The Crane – Aesop’s Fables (when working for a tyrant, feel lucky to escape alive/ expect no reward for serving the wicked, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains/ some characters have no sense of obligation)
A huge and hungry wolf called out
With many a tortured howl and shout –
A bone was stuck inside his throat.
“Whatever beast or bird,” he cried,
“May jerk it loose, will be supplied
With a reward of note!”
The Wolf and the Lion – AESOP’S FABLES (the strong prevail – what is evil won is evil lost)
A rubber wolf, Who killed a sheep,
Was tugging at his prey,
When came a lion with a leap,
And snatched the prize away.
THE WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING- AESOP’S FABLES (seek to harm and harm shall find you)
A wolf for days had sought in vain
A satisfying meal.
No longer could he get a taste
Of either lamb or veal.
The sheep and calves, on his approach,
Would swiftly take to heel.
