Hugh slept.

And then—as divers, mounting, sunder

A murmuring murk to blink in sudden wonder

Upon a dazzling upper deep of blue—

He rose again to consciousness, and knew

The low sun beating slantly on his face.

Now indolently gazing round the place,

He noted how the curs had revelled there—

The bones and entrails gone; some scattered hair

Alone remaining of the pot of hide.
