The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling Chapter 2 Page 6

Pack he may claim

Full-gorge when the killer has eaten; and none may

refuse him the same.

Lair-Right is the right of the Mother. From all of her

year she may claim

One haunch of each kill for her litter, and none may

deny her the same.

Cave-Right is the right of the Father — to hunt by himself

for his own.

He is freed of all calls to the Pack; he is judged by the

Council alone.

Because of his age and his cunning, because of his gripe

and his paw,

In all that the Law leaveth open, the word of the Head

Wolf is Law.

Now these are the Laws of the Jungle, and many and

mighty are they;

But the head and the hoof of the Law and the haunch

and the hump is — Obey!
