Precipitous descent! with stretched out neck,             11Bending thy head in airy vacancy,             12This way and that, inquiring, thou hast seemed             13To ask protection; now, I cannot kill thee.             14Yet I have sworn perdition to thy race,             15And recent from the slaughter am I come

embryo

No, helpless thing, I cannot harm thee now;               2Depart in peace, thy little life is safe,               3For I have scanned thy form with curious eye,               4Noted the silver line that streaks thy back,               5The azure and the orange that divide               6Thy velvet sides; thee, houseless wanderer,               7My garment has enfolded, and my arm               8Felt the light pressure of thy hairy feet;               9Thou hast curled round my finger; from its tip,             10Precipitous descent! with stretched out neck,             11Bending thy head in airy vacancy,             12This way and that, inquiring, thou hast seemed             13To ask protection; now, I cannot kill thee.
