Entre les pattes d'un Lion
Between the legs of a lion
Un Rat sortit de terre assez à l'étourdie
A rat came out of the dizzy enough
Le Roi des animaux, en cette occasion
The king of animals, on this occasion
Montra ce qu'il était, et lui donna la vie
Showed what he was, and gave him life
Ce bienfait ne fut pas perdu
This benefit was not lost
Quelqu'un aurait-il jamais cru
Has anyone would have ever believed
Qu'un Lion d'un Rat eût affaire?
That a rat lion were dealing with?
Cependant il advint qu'au sortir des forêts
However, it happened that out of the forests
Ce Lion fut pris dans des rets
This lion was caught in rets
Dont ses rugissements ne le purent défaire
Of which his roars could not defeat him
Sire Rat accourut, et fit tant par ses dents
Sire Rat rushed, and did so much by his teeth
Qu'une maille rongée emporta tout l'ouvrage
That a gnawed stitch took the whole work
Patience et longueur de temps
Patience and time length
Font plus que force ni que rage
Are more than force or rage
