Than Sampson's withy-bands, to bind
This worse than Erymanthian boar,
This fell, fierce foe of humankind;
What use in wasting words? The hand
Of Hercules to cleanse and slay
The monster scourges of the land
Is needful in a newer day.
Malign, inexorable, untamed,
This hoar hyæna of the East
Our skill has scorned, our wisdom shamed.
