Answer:
No, the words 'lept' and 'lep' are spelt incorrectly. The poet has spelled them like this in order to maintain the rhythm of the poem. When spelled this way, they rhyme with the first part of 'leopard', thus giving emphasis to 'leopard' in each line.

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. The third stanza is about the leopard, which is pronounced as ‘lep-ard’. So the mispelt words are supposed to show a connection to the word ‘leopard’.
