Explore "The Lion Beaten by the Man" by Jean de La Fontaine on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A picture once was shown, / In which one man, alone, / Upon the ground had thrown / A lion fully grown. / Much gloried at the sight the rabble. / A lion thus rebuked their babble: -- / 'That you have got the victory there, / There is no contradiction. / But, gentles, possibly you are / The dupes of easy fiction: / Had we the art of making pictures, / Perhaps our champion had beat yours!
