With eyes like sapphires that have lain in hell,

And felt the hissing embers; and the flow’rs

About me turn to hooded serpents, swayed

By flutes of devils in a hellish dance,

Meet for the nod of Satan, when he reigns

Above the raging Sabbath, and is wooed

By sarabands of witches. But I turn

To mountains guarding with their horns of snow

The source of that befoulèd rill, and seek

A pinnacle where none but eagles climb,
