With every foul disfigurement:

All black and fierce with eyes of fire,

Ruthless and stern and swift to ire:

Some with the jackal's jaw and nose,

Some faced like boars and buffaloes:

Some with the heads of goats and kine,

Of elephants, and dogs, and swine:

With lions' lips and horses' brows,

They walked with feet of mules and cows:

Swords, maces, clubs, and spears they bore
