| A lion camped beside a spring where came the Bird | B |
| Of Jove to drink | C |
| When haply sought two kings without their courtier herd | B |
| The moistened brink | C |
| Beneath the palm they always tempt pugnacious hands | D |
| Both travel sore | E |
| But quickly on the recognition out flew brands | D |
| Straight to each core | E |
| As dying breaths commingle o'er them rose the call | F |
| Of Eagle shrill | G |
| Yon crown d couple who supposed the world too small | F |
| Now one grave fill | G |
| Chiefs blinded by your rage each bleach d sapless bone | H |
| Becomes a pipe | I |
| Through which siroccos whistle trodden 'mong the stone | H |
| By quail and snipe | I |
| Folly's liege men what boots such murd'rous raid | J |
| And mortal feud | K |
| I Eagle dwell as friend with Leo none afraid | J |
| In solitude | K |
| At the same pool we bathe and quaff in placid mood | K |
| Kings he and I | L |
| For I to him leave prairie desert sands and wood | M |
| And he to me the sky | L |
