<p>“When eyes upon Reynard he set, as now in the ring he appeared,</p><p>With body clean shaven and smooth, and over and over bedaubed</p><p>With oil and perfidious fat, with laughter the king was convulsed.</p><p>You fox, who that has you taught? he exclaimed.</p><p>With justice, indeed,</p><p>You Reynard, the Fox, may be called; a trickster incessant you are.</p><p>Some hole you in all places know, and how to make use of it too.”</p><p>—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, <em>Reynard the Fox, Canto Twelve</em></p><p><em>The Works of J.W. von Goethe, Vol. X—Poems of Goethe Vol. II—Reynard the Fox</em>, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is part of a 14-volume set originally published in 1901–1902. <em>Reynard the Fox</em> (1794) is a poem in hexameters, in twelve parts, based on the medieval fables about the red fox, a trickster figure.</p>
