Leopards never change their spots
Disguise them though they may.
You’ll yet see claws and teeth appear
One fine sunny day.
Then in a whisk, a change appears
As the fireside cat looks out.
We blink our eyes and in a flash
A hunter is about.
So take the warning as it is meant,
Not believing all you see,
For in a trice a change begets
Surprising you and me.

I would like to translate this poem
what an amazing poem, the leopard is one of the most mysterious of cats.
