Rh Thy mouth's opinion,—

Naming the Sprite,

The triply-gross,

O'er the race that has dominion:

For through him it is that Eros

The carnage-licker

In the belly is bred: ere ended quite

Is the elder throe—new ichor!

Certainly, great of might

And heavy of wrath, the Sprite

Thou tellest of, in the palace

(Woe, woe!)

—An evil tale of a fate
