1. We tested intelligence in every fox
And found it to be the craft of the jackal

2. Restless motions that refuse stillness and persist
A biting wit like fire ablaze

3. It lowered itself seriously upon souls, so if it wished
It would consort with concord

4. And eyes craved its nearness until
I reckoned it among the fellows of youth

5. Wearing a skin, so if it gleamed, we imagined
It among a cloud's garment

6. If every intelligent being could speak
It would answer my speech in an hour
