                                        Them hiss so fierce at me;<lb/>
                                        With fear o'erwhelm'd, I fled the bird,<lb/>
                                        And thought therein to see<lb/>
                                        Some winged beast, or dragon fell,<lb/>
                                        Whose pestilential breath<lb/>

                                        Alone sufficed, as I'd heard tell,<lb/>
                                        To spread dismay and death.<lb/>
                                        At length their snappish noise despite,<lb/>
                                        I felt within my breast<lb/>
                                        A strange resolve to stay my flight,<lb/>
                                        And meet them at my best.<lb/>
                                        So looking round as fiercely too,<lb/>
                                        I was about to draw,<lb/>
                                        And pierce the hissing monsters through;<lb/>
                                        When all at once I saw-<lb/>
                                        And said, as plain as I could speak:<lb/>
                                        Why I'm a fool outright!<lb/>
                                        The beast's a flat and toothless beak!<lb/>
                                        With that he cannot bite;<lb/>
                                        No claws upon his feet has he<lb/>
                                        That I had need to fear,<lb/>
                                        No crooked talons that I see<lb/>
                                        With which my flesh to tear.<lb/>

                                        So dread to th'ear and sight;<lb/>
