Translate spanish poem?

It’s a poem by Félix María and it’s called El perro y el cocodriloI think I have most of the meaning but I am confused on the last few lines! Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂 EL PERRO Y EL COCODRILOBebiendo un perro en el Nilo al mismo tiempo corría. —Bebe quieto—le decía un taimado cocodrilo. Díjole el perro prudente: —Dañoso es beber y andar, ¿pero es sano el aguardar a que me claves el diente?. ¡Oh, qué docto perro viejo! Yo venero tu sentir en esto de no seguir del enemigo el consejo.Okay and I THINK it means A dog drinking in the Nile at the same time ran. “Drink calmly” said a crafty crocodile. The wise dog told him, “It’s harmful is to drink and walk, but it’s healthy for me to waituntil you sink your teeth into me?”Oh, what a wise old dog! And then I get confused at the end! 🙁

yes you are good … at the end.. it says “I revere your feelin to not listen the advice of the enemy”“No seguir del enemigo el consejo” is the same that “not follow the enemy’s advice” bc is a literary genre and it can change the position … all the poets do it 😀... Show More

It’s something about not following the advice of an enemy, but I can’t quite understand the first half of the sentence. “I honor your feelings about this not following the advice of your enemy”. Something like that.... Show More
