7. Can it be killedwith harpoons or spears?
8. Wrestle with it just once—that will be the end.
9. Merely a glimpse of this monstermakes all courage melt.
10. And if it is too fiercefor anyone to attack,who would dare oppose me?
11. I am in command of the worldand in debt to no one.
12. What powerful legs,what a stout bodythis monster possesses!
13. Who could strip off its armouror bring it under controlwith a harness?
14. Who would try to open its jaws,full of fearsome teeth?
18. When this monster sneezes,lightning flashes, and its eyesglow like the dawn.
19. Sparks and fiery flamesexplode from its mouth.
20. And smoke spews from its noselike steamfrom a boiling pot,
21. while its blazing breathscorches everything in sight.
