And Isma‘il and Mundhir rallied in it,
Bring Ismael in it and Munthir
With a scheme feebler than the moth’s and the dung beetle’s,
With more cunning than the guile of butterflies and ants

So the two might borrow a solid-black dog with a pierced nose.
To hunt down a fierce, vicious hound
Whoever has fools for forefathers will himself be foolish.
Whose tusks can rip elephants apart
