Vladislav Starevich, The Old Lion (Two Fables from La Fontaine, 1932) "A lion mourning, in his age, the wane Of might once dreaded through his wild domain, Was mocked, at last, upon his throne, By subjects of his own, Strong through his weakness grown. The horse his head saluted with a kick; The wolf snapped at his royal hide; The ox, too, gored him in the side; The unhappy lion, sad and sick, Could hardly growl, he was so weak. In uncomplaining, stoic pride, He waited for the hour of fate, Until the ass approached his gate; Whereat, 'This is too much,' he saith; 'I willingly would yield my breath; But, ah! thy kick is double death.'" [trans. E. Wright]
