From rocky fortress in mid air

(The food which pleased thee best to win)

Did'st oft the flame-eyed Eagle scare

With infant shout,—as often sweep,

And thou, whose earliest thoughts held dear

Allurements that were edged with fear,

(The food that pleased thee best, to win)

From rocky fortress in mid air

The flame-eyed Eagle oft would scare

With infant shout,—as often sweep,
