Original text and translations

English text I shall swallow, swallow you humans, humans regardless, I’ll the lot, I’ll the lot Yet some I might spare, yet spare: others, not.

Dutch translation De (Engelse) Draak Een middeleeuwse blik op de gastronomische voorkeuren van draken. Ik ga jullie, mensen, opslokken, opslokken -- toch! Verzwelgen zal ik jullie, achteloos, allemaal. Enigen zal ik sparen, misschien; anderen niet.
