  Thither with his invading squadrons, where,

  Vanquishing and taken, nevermore to offend

  With hostile arms, he is compelled to swear.

  Behold! he slights his solemn oath — to wend,

  Anew, with reckless steps, into the snare.

  Lo! there he leaves his eyes; and his array,

  Blind as the moldwarp, hence their lord convey.
