Short fables for children in verse
It is always customary to make the vulgar fool
of good and bad equal appreciation.
I give him the worst, which is what he praises.
In this way his facts excused
a writer of indecent farces;
and a crafty poet who heard him,
answered in the following terms:
To the humble ass
his owner gave straw, and said:
Take, then that you are happy with that.
Say it so many times, that one day
the donkey got angry, and replied: I take what you want to give me; but, unjust man, do you think that only from the straw taste?
Give me grain, and you'll see if I eat it.
Know who for the public works,
that perhaps the plebe fault in vain,
then if in giving straw, eat straw,
whenever they give grain, eat grain.
Moral:
Who writes for the public, and does not write well, should not base his apology on the bad taste of the vulgar.
