And how he guides! where the clean cliffs wedge

Them flat to their brows; by chasm and ledge

He helps the King from the merciless edge.

Then up and up, past bluffs that shun

The rashest chamois; where eagles sun

Great wings and brood; where the mists are spun.

And safe at last stand Kaiser and churl

On the mountain path where the mosses curl—

And this the revenge of Zyps of Zirl.
