Where ravening monsters dart and leap.

By four great piers each moat is spanned

Where lines of deadly engines stand.

In sleepless watch at every gate

Unnumbered hosts of giants wait,

And, masters of each weapon, rear

The threatening pike and sword and spear.

My fury hurled those ramparts down,

Filled up the moats that gird the town,

The piers and portals overturned,
