So by red blood and oozing gore track we.

My lungs are panting with full many a toil,

Wearing man's strength down. Every spot of earth

240

Have I now searched, and o'er the sea in flight

Wingless I came pursuing, swift as ship;

And now full sure he's crouching somewhere here:

The smell of human blood wafts joy to me.

See, see again, look round ye every way,

Lest he, the murderer, slip away unscathed.
