in duos tauros,
epulas lautas sibi quaerens.
Tauri, coniunctis viribus,
cornua leoni opponunt;
leo ergo irruere non potest
in medios tauros.
Leo tunc sibi dicit,
"Viribus impar sum
tauris illis duobus.
Callide agere debeo!"
Sic altero dicit, et sic altero,
"Si amicum tuum mihi tradis,
ego te dimittam, incolumem."
Hac fraude usus,
leo utrumque necat,
negotio facili.
