“Nonsense” another councilman replies
“That’s not goats you want to station there.
The solution, old digger that I am, for me lies
In digging, that’s in fact much better,
A ditch so deop... I mean to say so deep
All around the whole entire town indeed.”

“Nonsense” the Mayor shouts. “Now that’s enough!”
You speak of ditches of walls and other such matters
That to accomplish them would not be enough
A period, let us say, of about ten years.
Neither the labor nor the money we’re considering
Nor all the materials we’d be waisting.”

I put forth therefore a plan:
Let’s give arms to all our people I say
And go and keep a watch up to the den
Where that serpent’s hiding place may
Be and engage in a battle... In sum I tell you
