\u00cemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163ia dobitoceasc\u0103,
\nCa \u015fi a noastr\u0103 cea omeneasc\u0103,
\nStatornicie vecinic\u0103 n-are:
\nToate supuse s\u00e2nt la schimbare!
\nDin m\u00e2n\u0103-n m\u00e2n\u0103 sceptrul se plimb\u0103.
\nCel de ieri mare ast\u0103zi e mic;
\nLeu pe urs bate, urs pe leu schimb\u0103,
\nDintr-o \u00eent\u00e2mplare prea de nimic.
\nDe cur\u00e2nd ursu pe leu schimbase,
\n\u015ei pe domnescul tron \u00een\u0103l\u0163at,
\nC\u00e2rma \u00een labe tare-o luase,
\n\u015ei cu verzi tufe sta-ncoronat.
\nDator eu \u00eens\u0103 s\u00e2nt a v\u0103 spune
\nC\u0103 ursu-acela, m\u0103car c\u0103 urs,
\nDar simtimente avea preabune:
\nD-al ob\u015ftei bine era p\u0103truns.
\nFiarele toate-ndat\u0103 ce-aflar\u0103
\nC\u0103 le-a dat cerul un st\u0103p\u00e2n nou,
\nS\u0103 se \u00eenchine lui alergar\u0103,
\nUna c-o vac\u0103, alta c-un bou.
\nLupul \u00een urm\u0103 spre tron se duce,
\n\u015ei dup\u0103 vechiul bun obicei
\nM\u0103riei-sale plocon \u00eei duce,
\n\u015ei \u00eenainte-i pune doi miei.
\n\u00centr-o frumoas\u0103 precuv\u00e2ntare,
\n\u00cei dovede\u015fte c-ar fi av\u00e2nd
\nNi\u015fte hrisoave ar\u0103t\u0103toare
\nCe-au f\u0103cut ur\u015fii, z\u0103u nu \u015ftiu c\u00e2nd.
\nC-aste hrisoave, pe piei de oaie
\nScrise cu ap\u0103, spun l\u0103murit
\nCum au mers ur\u015fii la o b\u0103taie,
\n\u015ei c\u00e2te mure ei au jertfit.
\nCu plec\u0103ciune apoi i-arat\u0103
\nCum c\u0103 din suflet s-a bucurat
\nDe \u00eent\u00e2mplarea cea minunat\u0103,
\nDe-ncoronare c\u00e2nd a aflat,
\nCum c\u0103 dore\u015fte supus s\u0103-i fie,
\nC\u0103 totdeauna el l-a iubit,
\nC\u0103 pentru d\u00e2nsul vie\u0163i o mie
\nS\u0103 le jertfeasc\u0103 e mul\u0163umit.
\nAstfel de vorbe se zic \u00een lume,
\n\u00cens\u0103 drept form\u0103 se socotesc;
\nC\u0103ci fie\u015fcine le ia de glume,
\nCare se uit\u0103 c\u00e2t se vorbesc.
\nDar ursul crede, se am\u0103ge\u015fte,
\n\u00cen slujbe pune neamul lupesc:
\nCum c\u0103 prieteni are, g\u00e2nde\u015fte,
\nCare persoana lui o sl\u0103vesc.
\nDup\u0103 o vreme leul se scoal\u0103,
\nTocmai c\u00e2nd ur\u015fii mort \u00eel credea,
\nDup\u0103 o mare \u015fi lung\u0103 boal\u0103,
\nVine s\u0103-\u015fi cear\u0103 tronul ce-avea.
\nLocuitorii se \u00eengrozir\u0103;
\nVeste se duse p\u00e2n\u2019 la palat;
\nLupii \u00eendat\u0103 la lei fugir\u0103;
\nP-al lor prieten to\u0163i l-au l\u0103sat.
\nTaurii numai, ce niciodat\u0103
\nA-i fi prieteni nu s-au jurat,
\nPeste cinci sute venir\u0103-ndat\u0103,
\nPe crai \u015fi \u0163ar\u0103 ei au sc\u0103pat.
\nPrea cu lesnire omul se-n\u015fal\u0103!
\nDar foarte mare face gre\u015fal\u0103
\nCine la vorbe d\u0103 crez\u0103m\u00e2nt.
\nFaptele numai ne dovede\u015fte
\nFie\u015ftecine c\u00e2t pre\u0163uie\u015fte,
\nD-avem prieteni \u015fi care s\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
