TYLTYL (overcome) I'm done for!... The Cypress has caught me a great blow on the head....
THE DOG Ow!... That's the Willow!... He's broken my paw!...
TYLTYL They're coming back, they're charging down upon us, all together!... This time, it's the Wolf!...
THE DOG Wait till I give him one for himself!...
THE WOLF Fool!... Our brother!... His father drowned your seven puppies!...
THE DOG Quite right!... And a good thing too!... It was because they looked like you!...
ALL THE TREES AND ANIMALS Renegade!... Idiot!... Traitor!... Felon!... Simpleton!... Judas!... Leave him!... He's a dead man!... Come over to us!...
THE DOG (drunk with ardour and devotion) Never! Never!... I alone against all of you!... Never! Never!... True to the gods, to the best, to the greatest!... (To TYLTYL) Take care, here's the Bear!... Beware of the Bull!... I'll jump at his throat.... Ow!... That's a kick.... The Ass has broken two of my teeth....
TYLTYL I'm done for, Tylô!... Ah!... That was a blow from the Elm.... Look, my hand's bleeding.... That's the Wolf or the Pig....
THE DOG Wait, my little god.... Let me kiss you.... There, a good lick.... That will do you good.... Keep behind me.... They dare not come again.... Yes, though.... Here they are coming back!... This time, it's serious!.... We must stand firm!...
