Thus said. He mounts the margin's round,
And prys into the depth profound.
He stretch'd his neck; and from below
With stretching neck advanc'd a foe;
With wrath his ruffled plumes he rears,
The foe with ruffled plumes appears;
Threat answer'd threat, his fury grew,
Headlong to meet the war he flew;
But when the watry death he found,
He thus lamented, as he drown'd.
