Suddenly my guideCaught me, ev'n as a mother that from sleepIs by the noise arous'd, and near her seesThe climbing fires, who snatches up her babeAnd flies ne'er pausing, careful more of himThan of herself, that but a single vestClings round her limbs. Down from the jutting beachSupine he cast him, to that pendent rock, Which closes on one part the other chasm. Never ran water with such hurrying paceAdown the tube to turn a landmill's wheel, When nearest it approaches to the spokes, As then alo...ng that edge my master ran, Carrying me in his bosom, as a child, Not a companion. Scarcely had his feetReach'd to the lowest of the bed beneath, When over us the steep they reach'd; but fearIn him was none; for that high Providence, Which plac'd them ministers of the fifth foss, Power of departing thence took from them all. There in the depth we saw a painted tribe, Who pac'd with tardy steps around, and wept, Faint in appearance and o'ercome with toil. Caps had they on, with hoods, that fell low downBefore their eyes, in fashion like to thoseWorn by the monks in Cologne.
