That child of theirs caught up thus in the cloud

And carried by the Prince o' the Power of the Air

Whither he would, to wilderness or sea.

I saw them, in the potency of fear,

Break somehow through the satyr-family

(For a gray mother with a monkey-mien,

Mopping and mowing, was apparent too,

As, confident of capture, all took hands

And danced about the captives in a ring)

—Saw them break through, breathe safe, at Rome again,
