The maid of Redenfayn, an allegory of two worlds, in three books: I The book of loves and dreams . thousand armored foes his lightning swordCut through and through, gashing their howling fury swelled his great frame as he fought,—And so in might and bulk his foemen grew. With borrow at the sight, both armies paled: To watch the combatants they ceased their strife. As some lone eagle perched upon a tree Is by a flock of angry hawks assailed; As isolated light-house in the sea Is battered by tumultuous winds and waves; As Teneriffe, high looming in the sky, Is buffeted by heavens artillery,— So Satan by the rebel chiefs was stormed With broadsides poured upon his stalwart form. A massive mace gainst Satans shining helmCrashed like a thunderbolt, and knocked it farLike comet through the sky: Satan in one wide blow a hundred foes cut hurled their writhing bodies through the air. On raged the war: no halt nor backward step Did Satan make, but ever forward pressed. His foes, unterrified and numberless. With thunders and with flames still hedged him round.
