"Here with a cockatrice’ dead-killing eye He rouseth up himself, and makes a pause; While she, the picture of pure piety, Like a white hind under the gripe’s sharp claws, Pleads in a wilderness where are no laws, To the rough beast that knows no gentle right, Nor aught obeys but his foul appetite."
Cockatrice

January 1, 1970
