开头的诗歌
Aegidii Ahenobarbi Julii Agricole de Hammo Domini de Domito Aule Draconarie Comitis Regni Minimi Regis et Basilei mira facinora et mirabilis exortus or in the vulgar tongue The Rise and Wonderful Adventures of Farmer Giles, Lord of Tame Count of Worminghall and King of the Little Kingdom
结尾
He flew back to the mountains, slowly and laboriously, for his wings were clumsy with long disuse, and his size and his armour were greatly increased. Arriving home, he at once routed out a young dragon who had had the temerity to take up residence in his cave while Chrysophylax was away. It is said that the noise of the battle was heard throughout Venedotia. When, with great satisfaction, he had devoured his defeated opponent, he felt better, and the scars of his humiliation were assuaged, and he slept for a long while. But at last, waking suddenly, he set off in search of that tallest and stupidest of the giants, who had started all the trouble one summer‘s night long before. He gave him a piece of his mind, and the poor fellow was very much crushed. „A blunderbuss, was it?“ said he, scratching his head. „I thought it was horseflies!“
