Hurt no living thing:
Ladybird, nor butterfly,
Nor moth with dusty wing,
Nor cricket chirping cherrily,
Nor grasshopper so light of leap,
Nor dancing gnant, nor beetle fat,
Nor harmless worms that creep.
-Christina Rosetti

Harm no living thing,
Not the bird, the bee nor the snake,
Nor the kangaroo hopping with a spring,
Nor the fish that swims in the lake,
Nor creatures hiding, away from your eye,
Nor the fly, hoverjng over your feast,
Nor the moth, the sloth or butterly,
Nor boastful man, nor humble beast.
