As if through a dungeon-grate he peer'd,

With broad and burning face.

"' Alas!' (thought I, and my heart beat loud)

' How fast she nears and nears!

Are those her sails that glance in the sun,

Like restless gossameres?

"'Are those her ribs through which the sun

Did peer, as through a grate?

And is that Woman all her crew?

Is that a Death? and are there two?
