Rimedio
Un Lupo disse a Giove: – Quarche pecora
dice ch’io rubbo troppo… Ce vô un freno
per impedì che inventino ‘ste chiacchiere… –
E Giove je rispose: – Rubba meno. –
Trilussa (1871-1950)

Said Sir Wolf to Jove, “Some sheep are bleating
I steal too much and now it’s in the Press.
Impose a gagging order or I’ll sue.”
Said Jove to Sir Wolf: “Steal less.”
