Dives the dog, on the shortest of leashes, bound by obedience to the strictest of laws, is a noble and gentle servant. He is so Rich in virtue.
Dives the dog, when let loose late at night, can quite seriously torture and hurt you.

I like the play on words, with the last words of each stanza rhyming, with very different meanings.

I like the Latin/English word play, Larry, and the dog being a noble, gentle servant, rich in virtue. I assume he is a guard dog by night, otherwise I’d be seriously worried.

I should most certainly hope so. As I said, without rules, there’s big trouble

Thanks for introducing me to the Latin word, “dives”. I like the message in this quadrille. Money is not necessarily dignified, can serve well or be very dangerous.

Thanks. Money’s completely neutral, but it’s’ still dangerous

I appreciate the back grounder on the word Dives and meaning of rich. The dog must really be trained, so he can assume the role of the guard dog at night.

I can’t help but wonder if dogs sense apparitions at night. In any case they should be kept on a tight leash. Brilliant write! ❤️

It’s all about context. Rightly ordered Dives works out well. Beware the unfettered Dives
