These are beautiful, lyrical and engaging short poems
I think you could read this as having no sexual content, but the innuendos are there.

A handy classic worthy of review.
A nice handy version of this classic , the translation into "English" english works well,even still their are some changes necessary for "American " english.

Absolutely Fabulous
That Jean de La Fontaine problematized the fable genre is now well known, thanks to American, British, and German criticism of the late 20th century.
