Her right as cold as a corpse's flesh!

And she would sing like a funeral bell, with a ding-dong tune.

The pigs were afraid, and viewed her aloof;

And women feared her and stood afar.

She could do without sleep for a year and a day;

She could sleep like a corpse, for a month and more.

No one knew how this lady fed—

On acorns or on flesh.

Some say that she's one of the swine-possessed,

That swam over the sea of Gennesaret.
