Lu cuorvu e la vorpa

                              (Libera traduzione de "Il corvo e la volpe" di La Fontaine)

                                Mastu cuorvu nbonda nu ramu,

                                nmocca tuneva nu piezzu ri casu.

                                Masta vorpa puzzeva la fama,

                                lu guardava e turceva lu nasu.

                                -Quandu si bellu, che pennu neru,

                                mi pari Benitu nbersona.

                                Pucchè nun parli nu picca musera

                                oh miu duce ra quissu barconu?-

                                Sundennu stu cosu lu cuorvu,

                                si sundivu n'aquila mberiale;

                                si gunviavu, si guardavu attuornu,

                                punzavu ngapu sua: "Sò bestiale"

                                -Grazziu a te, suddita vurpacchia!-

                                E ru casu vruculiavu assai lundanu.

                                -Che fessa sì vecchia curnacchia,

                                chi criri a vorpu e ruffiani!-
