A huge misshapen giantess;

A thing the timid heart that shook

With fearful shape and savage look.

Terrific fiend, her voice was fierce,

Long were her teeth to rend and pierce.

The monster gorged her horrid feast

Of flesh of many a savage beast,

While her long locks, at random flung,

Dishevelled o'er her shoulders hung.

Their eyes the royal brothers raised,
