1. The Lion in Love
Though the Lion in love let them draw
All his teeth, and pare down every claw,
He’d no bride for his pains,
For they beat out his brains
Ere he set on his maiden a paw.
◎OUR VERYMEANS MAY DEFEAT OUR ENDS
1. A lion in love
The lion in love has pulled out his teeth,
Also trimmed off every paw.
After suffering so much,
He just wanted to hold his lover's hand,
But he was beaten to death.
※ Our means will defeat our ends
2. The Cock, the Ass,and the Lion
The Ass gave a horrible bray,
Cock crowed; Lion scampered away;
Ass judged he was scared
By the bray, and sodared
To pursue; Lion ate him they say.
◎DON’T TAKEALL THE CREDIT TO YOURSELF
2. Roosters, donkeys and lions
Suddenly the donkey let out a frightening hiss,
The rooster also chirps, and the lion runs away;
The donkey decided that the lion was afraid
He screamed, and his boldness grew,
He chased after it and was eaten.
※ I think I don't want to
3. The Ass and theSick Lion
Crafty Lion, perhaps with the gout,
Kept his cave; where,to solve any doubt,
Many visitors go:
But the Ass, he said‘No!
They go in, but I’ve seen none come out.’
◎REASON FROM RESULTS
3. Donkeys and sick lions
Cunning lions may suffer from gout,
Staying in the nest is not going out of the hole;
There are a lot of animals to ask,
But there are reasons why donkeys don't go:
"I didn't come out when I went in, do you understand?"
※From the result, you can find the cause
