Shook the wild tangles of his frosty hair,

And laid him down again with sullen roar:

But now the frightened nymphs like statues stand,

One balancing her body half in air,

Dreading to hear again that tumult sore;

One, with a liquid tremor in her eye,

Waving above her head a glimmering hand;

Till suddenly, like dreams, away they fly,

Leaving the forest stiller than before!
