That leads to HELA’S drear abode.

Him the Dog of Darkness spied,

His shaggy throat he open’d wide,

While from his jaws, with carnage fill’d,

Foam and human gore distill’d:

Hoarse he bays with hideous din,

Eyes that glow, and fangs that grin;

And long pursues, with fruitless yell,

The Father of the powerful spell.

Onward still his way he takes,
