Besedilo
Volk in lev
A wolf was once wandering through a lonely wilderness when, as Hyperion was sinking toward the west, he caught sight of his own long shadow and said, “Why should I fear a lion, when I am so huge—a hundred feet long? Surely I shall become the ruler of all the beasts put together!” But as the wolf swelled with pride, a mighty lion seized him and began to devour him. Then, regretting his folly, he cried, “Conceit is the cause of our misfortunes!”

Λύκος πλανώμενός ποτʼ ἐν ἐρήμοις τόποις, κλίνοντος ἤδη πρὸς δύσιν Ὑπερίονος, δολιχὴν ἑαυτοῦ τὴν σκιὰν ἰδὼν ἔφη· „λέοντʼ ἐγὼ δέδοικα, τηλικοῦτος ὤν, πλέθρου τʼ ἔχων τὸ μῆκος; οὐ θηρῶν ἁπλῶς πάντων δυνάστης ἀθρόων γενήσομαι;“ λύκον δὲ γαυρωθέντα καρτερὸς λέων ἑλὼν κατήσθιʼ· ὁ δʼ ἐβόησε μετανοῶν· „οἴησις ἡμῖν πημάτων παραιτία.“
