enjoy “Agricola & Avarice”

a poem by Michel-Vincent Corbeaux

A farming deer, at rest from sowing seed,

Was visited by merchant wolves displaying

“Our finest prize - this hen - its gilded laying;

“Such wealth from these will satisfy your need!”

They demonstrated truth in word and deed, And so, the deer would sell his farm for paying

Of easy treasure, and instead of staying In diligence, he fast succumbed to greed.

But then at night a vixen thief was prying

And made her way into his home to see

The hen, that soon her feast it was to be.

So as she sprang upon the hen now dying,

The deer returned to cries that ruined glee;

Here all his hope of health and wealth did flee.

It caused the fox to state a truth, replying “‘Tis

always best to struggle truly free,

“Than bound and shackled to prosperity.

prosperity.” This was “Agricola & Avarice” by Michel-Vincent Corbeaux,
