had come across his northerly camp and he feared that they
By arrow dealt, or lance, thus fail to slay
This single warrior. But lo! from far

To light within his eye: the hero tugs
Intrepid, bursts the nerves, and tears the shaft
Forth with the eyeball, and with dauntless heel
Treads them to dust. Not otherwise a bear
