Turning, twisting, curling, sliding,
Coiling, looping, stooping, gliding;
Burnished scales of steely shimmering,
Cold and smooth with golden glimmering.
Hard and steady is the gaze,
Bright his eyes with mesmer glaze;
Swift and silently he steals,
Quick the death he coolly deals.
More subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. Genesis 3, 1.
