He bears golden scales

And in spite of the coils of his dragon, without hint of alarm or invective

Looks up at the mists on the mountain.

(Now what saint or archangel

Stands winged on a dragon,

Bearing golden scales and a broad bladed sword all golden?

Alas, my knowledge

Of all the saints of the college,

Of all these glimmering, olden

Sacred and misty stories
