XXXIV.
And, when he sacked a city, he could tear
The screaming infant from its mother's arms,
Dash it to earth, and, while 'twas weltering there,
With demon grasp impress her shuddering charms;
The screaming infant from its mother's arms,
Dash it to earth, and, while 'twas weltering there,
With demon grasp impress her shuddering charms;
Then, as she faints with shrieks and struggles vain,
Coolly recall her with the ruffian blow;
And look, and pause, insatiate of her pain;
Then gash her tender throat, and see the life-blood flow.
Coolly recall her with the ruffian blow;
And look, and pause, insatiate of her pain;
Then gash her tender throat, and see the life-blood flow.
