BY this mighty upset Of the natural law,
Straight back to his throne in tho mountain sped
Again came the birdman-and thon he said:

II man Is as terrible down belowi"
Said the Mole: King Eagle I'm blind, You know
But smell the paths where the humans go;
I've felt tho cavornous mouths OF holes
That could never be made by q world of Moles!
And I'm told by burrowlng things that SEQ
That a Man can dig rings around things like Mel"
The Eagle returned to his mountain throne
Feeling disguised and sick to the bone,
That such condition Of things could be!'
And a Monarch of Sea. and Of Land and Air,
Flew by like the wind and left him there!
