Brandish aloft with angry groan

Their javelins form’d of human bone.

As Thor advanc’d, their shields they clash,

And croak aloud these words of fear:

“Go back! go back! ye strangers rash!

Whence do ye come! what seek ye here?

“Why seek ye in the pride and bloom

Of health and youth these realms of gloom?

Never did such a troop before

Find entrance to this fated shore.
