Like a sandwich, between
May a moral be seen,
Wrapped up in a pleasant narration.
Once the Lion invited to hunt and to dine,
And to taste a few skins of his favourite wine,
All his friends of the forest—who said they'd be there,
In the sports of the chase and the victuals to share;
Then the cunning fox scampered the country around,
Just to stop up the holes, and survey well the ground;
While the wolves have agreed to act dogs for the day,
