“The Thracians, fired at this inhuman scene, With darts and stones assail the frantic queen. She snarls and growls, nor in an human tone; Then bites impatient at the bounding stone; Extends her jaws, as she her voice would raise To keen invectives in her wonted phrase; But barks, and thence the yelping brute betrays.”
