The Sea-King | ||
167
XXXVII.
And by the help of this strange light,Ragnar beheld the monster whence it came;
Its dragon wings were black as ebon night,—
Its eyes the sources of this ghastly flame.
A dozen serpent heads, came sailing on the air,
Some floating here, some floating there;
And, ere the undaunted Sea-King was aware,
They were erected round him; void of care
He saw one larger than the rest
Starting, advance its scaly crest,
And fix on him a hideous stare.—
He knew not that each glaring eye
Had robbed a thousand men of breath,
Had doomed a thousand souls to die
A ceaseless, sentient, burning death.
Nor knew he from those balls that roll,
Two fiends gazed at him; and did wait
To make him share their dreadful fate,
And pour their torture on his soul!
