Void and devoid and desolate[292] is she.

Melting hearts and shaking knees,

And anguish in all loins,

And nothing but faces full of black fear.[293]

Where is the Lion’s den,

And the young lions’ feeding ground[294]?

Whither the Lion retreated,[295]

The whelps of the Lion, with none to affray:

The Lion, who tore enough for his whelps,

And strangled for his lionesses.
