Leo laqueo captus est.
Sic irretitus, nullis viribus se explicare potest.
Leo murem rogat,
"O mus, laqueum abrode et me libera!
Tanti beneficii semper memor ero!"
Mus hoc prompte facit:
laqueum abrodit et leonem liberat.
Mus leonem rogat,
"Filiam tuam mihi trade in uxorem!"
Leo non abnuit.
Hanc rem gratam benefactori suo facit.
Leaena, nova nupta, ad virum venit.
Sed leaena murem non videt!
Casu murem pede premit et conterit.
Fabula docet:
Vota moderanda sunt!
Si quaeris plura quam decet,
mortem tuam festinas.
