How full of wisdom, wit and sparkle are these apologues! Take, forinstance, the following, which to the best of my ability I have renderedinto our mother tongue-- VANITY (LE PETIT CHIEN).
I Once on a time and far away, The elephant stood first in might, He had by many a forest fray At last usurped the lion's right. On peace and reign unquestioned bent, The ruler in his pride of place, Forthwith to life-long banishment Doomed members of the lion race.
II Dispirited, their best laid low, ...The vanquished could but yield to fate, And turn their backs upon the foe In silence nursing grief and hate. A poodle neatly cropped and clipped, With tasselled tail made leonine, On hearing of the stern rescript, Straightway set up a piteous whine.

A spaniel hastened at the cry, "Come, mate, what's this to-do about?" "Oh, oh, " the other gulped reply, "For exile we must all set out!" IV "Must all?" "No, you are safe, good friend; The cruel law smites us alone; Here undisturbed your days may end, The lions must perforce begone.
