That, with blind rage, the penetrating blow

Pursued; and tossing up his mangled brow,

Besmeared with reeking blood, with horrid cries

Turns round, and from his fallen master flies;

Then with their darts and frequent arrows all

Invade him, and now dare to hope his fall.

His immense shoulders and his sides appear

One wound entire; his dusky back doth bear

Innumerable shafts, that, like a wood,

Still waving as he moved, upon him stood;
