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).
