A race, the third of many-languaged men.

Unlike the silver they: of brazen mould:

With ashen war-spears terrible and bold:

Their thoughts were bent on violence alone,

The deeds of battle and the dying groan.

Bloody their feasts, with wheaten food unblest:

Of adamant was each unyielding breast.

Huge, nerved with strength each hardy giant stands,

And mocks approach with unresisted hands:

Their mansions, implements, and armour shine
