A duskish river dragon stretched along.
The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
No bigger than a mouse;”

I know as few can know,
Whether they take the upper road
Or stay content on the low....””

Yearly out of his watery cell,
To deck great Neptune’s diadem.”
