THE ASS IN THE LION'S SKIN, by AESOP Poet's Biography First Line: An ass put on a lion's skin and went Last Line: That's just the way with asses, just the way. | |||
An Ass put on a Lion's skin and went About the forest with much merriment, Scaring the foolish beasts by brooks and rocks, Till at last he tried to scare the Fox. But Reynard, hearing from beneath the mane That raucous voice so petulant and vain, Remarked, "O Ass, I too would run away, But that I know your old familiar bray.' That's just the way with asses, just the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MORAL FABLES: THE COCK AND THE FOX by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE FOX AND THE WOLF by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE FOX, THE WOLF, AND THE CADGER by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE FOX, THE WOLF, AND THE HUSBANDMAN by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE LION AND THE MOUSE by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE MOUSE AND THE PADDOCK by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE PROLOG by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE SHEEP AND THE DOG by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE SWALLOW, AND THE OTHER BIRDS by AESOP THE MORAL FABLES: THE TALE OF THE COCK, AND THE JEWEL by AESOP |
