Demoniac lurk in desolate dells and woods

Shadowy? malicious vassals of that power

Who signs himself, thro' these, a slave to those,

Those mortals who act open with his Hell,

Those only who seek secretly and woo.

Of these free, fatal bullets let me speak:

There may be such; our Earth hath things as strange;

Then only in coarse fancies may exist;

For fancy is among our peasantry

A limber juggler with the weird and dark;
