attr. Æsop, Three Hundred Aesop's Fables — The Old Hound (1887)
“ A Hound, who in the days of his youth and strength had never yielded to any beast of the forest, encountered in his old age a boar in the chase. He seized him boldly by the ear, but could not retain his hold because of the decay of his teeth, so that the boar escaped. ”
