But with his warping body wards the wound.

His hand and watchful eye keep even pace,

While Dares traverses and shifts his place,

And, like a captain who beleaguers round

Some strong-built castle on a rising ground,

Views all the approaches with observing eyes;

This and that other part in vain he tries,

And more on industry than force relies.

With hands on high Entellus threats the foe;

But Dares watched the motion from below,
