Answer:
No, the words ‘lept’ and ‘lep’ are not spelt correctly. The poet has used poetic license and has purposely spelt the words incorrectly to bring a bit of humour to the stanza and maintain the rhythm of the poem.

Hyenas have a weird smile and they smile like humans before attacking their prey. Their smiles are deceptive. Similarly, the weeping of a crocodile before it swallows its victim is also very deceptive. Yes, definitely, every language has similar expressions and popular ideas about animals.
It's like they try to fool their preys that they won't just but they do attack. This shows the dark side of animals. We can say that some animals are deceptive and master minds. But all that they do is too feed themselves and their family. They don't have much choices it's not easy for them to find another source of food that easily..
