	A
	-
A Wolf replete	B
With humanity sweet	B
A trait not much suspected	C
On his cruel deeds	D
The fruit of his needs	D
Profoundly thus reflected	C
	-
'I'm hated ' said he	E
'As joint enemy	E
By hunters dogs and clowns	F
They swear I shall die	G
And their hue and cry	G
The very thunder drowns	F
	-
'My brethren have fled	H
With price on the head	H
From England's merry land	I
King Edgar came out	J
And put them to rout	J
With many a deadly band	I
	-
'And there's not a squire	K
But blows up the fire	L
By hostile proclamation	M
Nor a human brat	N
Dares cry but that	N
Its mother mocks my nation	M
	-
'And all for what	O
For a sheep with the rot	P
Or scabby mangy ass	Q
Or some snarling cur	L
With less meat than fur	L
On which I've broken fast	R
	-
'Well henceforth I'll strive	S
That nothing alive	S
Shall die to quench my thirst	T
No lambkin shall fall	U
Nor puppy at all	U
To glut my maw accurst	T
With grass I'll appease	V
Or browse on the trees	V
Or die of famine first	T
	-
'What of carcass warm	W
Is it worth the storm	W
Of universal hate '	-
As he spoke these words	X
The lords of the herds	X
All seated at their bait	T
He saw and observed	T
The meat which was served	T
Was nought but roasted lamb	Y
'O O ' said the beast	T
'Repent of my feast	T
All butcher as I am	Y
On these vermin mean	Z
Whose guardians e'en	A2
Eat at a rate quadruple	B2
Themselves and their dogs	C2
As greedy as hogs	C2
And I a wolf to scruple '	-
	-
'Look out for your wool	D2
I'll not be a fool	E2
The very pet I'll eat	T
The lamb the best looking	F2
Without any cooking	F2
I'll strangle from the teat	T
And swallow the dam	Y
As well as the lamb	Y
And stop her foolish bleat	T
Old Hornie too rot him	G2
The sire that begot him	G2
Shall be among my meat '	-
	-
Well reasoning beast	T
Were we sent to feast	T
On creatures wild and tame	H2
And shall we reduce	I2
The beasts to the use	I2
Of vegetable game	H2
	-
Shall animals not	T
Have flesh hook or pot	T
As in the age of gold	T
And we claim the right	T
In the pride of our might	T
Themselves to have and hold	T
O shepherds that keep	J2
Your folds full of sheep	J2
The wolf was only wrong	K2
Because so to speak	L2
His jaws were too weak	L2
To break your palings strong	K2
