Whose mail is first in slaughter gored!
Thou, subtler than the serpent, DAN,[10]
Prince of the arrow and the sword.
Woe to the Syrian charioteer
When rings the rushing of thy spear!
"Crush'd to the earth by war and woe,
GAD,[11] shall the cup of bondage drain,
Till bold revenge shall give the blow
That pays the long arrear of pain.
