O'er his great lips his tongue he drew.

His arms unshapely, vast and dread,

A league in length, he raised and spread.

He seized with monstrous hands a herd

Of deer and many a bear and bird.

Among them all he picked and chose,

Drew forward these, rejected those.

Before the princely pair he stood

Barring their passage through the wood.

A league of shade the chiefs had passed
