Excerpt from A Son of Cain

Met a Lion in the way Heigho 1 his eyes were wild! A bright magnificent beast of prey, A daemon's child. He scowled, and scowled, With bristling mane, And growled, and growled Like an angry pain. He stood aloof I liked him well. Heigho his ivories His lips were curled, and his smile was fell His breath steamed hot as the hate of hell, Hot from the heart of hell. Ho, ho! The Lion Such strength was his. He lashed his flanks with tawny tail, He beat the air as with a flail. How his fangs shone I A ghoulish hunger twitched his lips; His ears were angry at the tips He crouched upon his tapering hips The Lion His lithe mass, rhythmic as a wave, Sank rigid, to a passion wrought He seemed some splendid sin, a brave Embodiment of treacherous thought.
