When eyes upon Reynard he set as now in the ring he appeared With body clean shaven and smooth and over and over bedaubedWith oil and perfidious fat with laughter the king was convulsed.You fox who that has you taught? he exclaimed.With justice indeed You Reynard the Fox may be called; a trickster incessant you are.Some hole you in all places know and how to make use of it too.--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Reynard the Fox Canto TwelveThe Works of J.W. von Goethe Vol. X--Poems of Goethe Vol. II--Reynard the Fox by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is part of a 14-volume set originally published in 1901-1902.
