There too is he, by wizard-power upheld, Jack , by whose arm the giant-brood were quell’d; His shoes of swiftness on his feet he plac’d; His coat of darkness on his loins he brac’d; {39} His sword of sharpness in his hand he took, And off the heads of doughty Giants stroke; Their glaring eyes beheld no mortal near; No sound of feet alarm’d the drowsy ear; No English blood their pagan sense could smell, But heads dropt headlong, wondering why they fell.
— from Poems by George Crabbe
There too is he, by wizard-power upheld, Jack, by whose arm the giant-brood were quell'd: His shoes of swiftness on his feet he placed; 120 His coat of darkness on his loins he braced; His sword of sharpness in his hand he took, And off the heads of doughty giants stroke: Their glaring eyes beheld no mortal near; No sound of feet alarm'd the drowsy ear; No English blood their pagan sense could smell, But heads dropp'd headlong, wondering why they fell.
