Tisiphone hauls the convict, grieved then

For old triumphs; in her right hand the scourge,

In her left snakes. She screams the while to urge

Her savage pair of sisters to make haste

From banks of dim Cocytus for a feast!

The Trials living men may not attend,

Or the dire chastisements in which they end,

But—for so much is lawful—thou shalt see

The Prison’s threshold.
