Of your interference,—lightened of what load?

At liberty wherein? Mere words and wind!

"Now I was saved, now I should feel no more

The hot breath, find a respite from fixed eye

And vibrant tongue!" Why, scarce your back was turned,

There was the reptile, that feigned death at first,

Renewing its detested spire and spire

Around me, rising to such heights of hate

That, so far from mere purpose now to crush

And coil itself on the remains of me,
