| The wolves are prone to play the glutton | B |
| One at a certain feast 'tis said | C |
| So stuff'd himself with lamb and mutton | B |
| He seem'd but little short of dead | C |
| Deep in his throat a bone stuck fast | D |
| Well for this wolf who could not speak | E |
| That soon a stork quite near him pass'd | D |
| By signs invited with her beak | E |
| The bone she drew | F |
| With slight ado | F |
| And for this skilful surgery | G |
| Demanded modestly her fee | G |
| 'Your fee ' replied the wolf | H |
| In accents rather gruff | I |
| 'And is it not enough | I |
| Your neck is safe from such a gulf | J |
| Go for a wretch ingrate | F |
| Nor tempt again your fate ' | - |
