This learnt the Seer; and learnt, alas! too well,

Each scribbled talisman and smoky spell:

What mutter'd charms, what soul-subduing arts,

Fell Zatanai[70] to his sons imparts.

Gins![71]—black and huge! who in Dom-Daniel's[72] cave

Writhe your scorch'd limbs on sulphur's azure wave,

Or, shivering, yell amidst eternal snows,

Where cloud-capp'd Caf[73] protrudes his granite toes

(Bound by his will, Judæa's fabled king,[74]

Lord of Aladdin's lamp and mystic ring).
