Beholding her, how beautiful she stood,

In that wild solitude,

Baly from his invisibility

Had issued then, to know her cause of woe;

But that, in the air beside her, he espied

Two Powers of Evil for her hurt allied,

Foul Arvalan and dreadful Lorrinite.

The Mighty One they could not see,

And marking with what demon-like delight

They kept their innocent prey in sight,

He waits, expecting what the end may be.
