Pour fuir d'un lieu plein de reptiles,
Cherchant la lumiere et la cle;
Un damne descendant sans lampe,
Au bord d'un gouffre dont l'odeur
Trahit l'humide profondeur,
D'eternels escaliers sans rampe,
Ou veillent des
monstres
visqueux
Dont les larges yeux de phosphore
Font une nuit plus noire encore
Et ne rendent visibles qu'eux;
Un navire pris dans le pole,
Comme en un piege de cristal,
Cherchant par quel detroit fatal
Il est tombe dans cette geole;
--Emblemes nets, tableau parfait
D'une fortune irremediable,
Qui donne a penser que le Diable
Fait toujours bien tout ce qu'il fait!

Much as brave Jason by the Colchian shore,
Through magic arts won the Golden Fleece,
Sowing the plain with the old serpent's teeth,
To engender soldiers from the furrow's store,
This city, that in youthful season bore
A Hydra's nest of warriors, raised a yeast
Of brave nurslings, who their proud glory saw
Fill the Sun's mansions, to the west and east:
But in the end, lacking a Hercules
To vanquish so fecund a progeny,
Arming
themselves
in civil enmity,
Mowed each other down, a cruel harvest,
Reliving thus the fraternal harsh unrest
Which had blinded that proud seeded army.

Beside the incense-burning altars slain,
Drops down the yearling calf, from out its breast
Breathing warm streams of blood; the orphaned mother,
Ranging meanwhile green woodland pastures round,
Knows well the footprints, pressed by cloven hoofs,
With eyes regarding every spot about,
For sight somewhere of youngling gone from her;
And,

With her complaints; and oft she seeks again
Within the stall, pierced by her yearning still.

So through the falling torrent of our fears
Our joyous force leaps like these dancing tears.

With
