The Wolf, the Goat, and the Kid TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text <br> As went a goat of grass to take her fill,<br> And browse the herbage of a distant hill,<br> She latch'd her door, and bid,<br> With matron care, her kid;<br> "My daughter, as you live,<br> This portal don't undo<br> To any creature who<br> This watchword does not give:<br> 'Deuce take the wolf and all his race!'"<br> The wolf was passing near the place<br> By chance, and heard the words with pleasure,<br> And laid them up as useful treasure;<br> And hardly need we mention,<br> Escaped the goat's attention.<br> No sooner did he see<br> The matron off, than he,<br> With hypocritic tone and face,<br> Cried out before the place,<br> "Deuce take the wolf and all his race!"<br> Not doubting thus to gain admission. COMMENTS: Visual Text The translation is in verse; a head-start on lyrics.
