And made so wanton that they knew their strengths,

Were not subdued with valour more divine,

Than you by this unconquer'd arm of mine.

To make you fierce and fit my appetite,

You shall be fed with flesh as raw as blood,

And drink in pails the strongest muscadell:

If you can live with it, then live and draw

My chariot swifter than the racking clouds:

If not, then die like beasts, and fit for nought

But perches for the black and fatal ravens."
