Spider! thou needst not run in fear about

To shun my curious eyes;

I won’t humanely crush thy bowels out

Lest thou should eat the flies;

Nor will I roast thee with a damned delight,

Thy strange instinctive fortitude to see,

For there is One who might

One day roast me.

Weaver of snares, thou emblemest the ways

Of Satan, sire of lies;
