VIII.

"Thou shalt seek the beach of sand

Where the water bounds the elfin land,

Thou shalt watch the oozy brine

Till the sturgeon leaps in the bright moonshine,

Then dart the glistening arch below,

And catch a drop from his silver bow.

The water-sprites will wield their arms

And dash around, with roar and rave,

And vain are the woodland spirits' charms,

They are the imps that rule the wave.

Yet trust thee in thy single might,

If thy heart be pure and thy spirit right,

Thou shalt win the warlock fight.
