When they do require of the Lion— To give a good reason why he devours them like any minion, He reminds them of being "The King of the Jungle" So he continues his diabolical project as a noble.

The foreign vipers intrude awry With an acclamation of being their profound territory But they have come with the interest of politics Dirty politics!
