BEGGAR AND DOG

A Dog stood in his master’s spacious yard.

In came an old man with his scrip, all dirty.

The Dog barked at him, keeping guard.

‘I’m a poor fellow. Please have mercy!’

Whispered the old man, shaking, full of dread.

‘I have not eaten. I shall die from hunger!’

‘That’s why I bark like thunder!’

The Dog said. ‘Am I here to see you fed?’

Appearances can so deceive the righteous.

Beasts can be kind, and gentle folk can bite us.

I.I. Dmitriyev, 1804
