Serpent

Hurry, let out the line or you will drown!

It is an older and more terrible

Thing that you have snared in your foolishness

Than has been released since the dawn of man.


Be wary of what is caught in the deep!

Though your eyes see only life, blue as air

Shoving you into envelopes and nets,

The enemy will give bitter judgment.


Can you not feel the danger rising up?

No! Your hook is in the Leviathan,

It tangles further in those deathly jaws,

They will close and carry you beneath time!


It will not avail you to hail the gods,

For you have seized a monster they all fear.

When you are crushed by the pressure below,

Recall that you went fishing while well fed.
