Ranolf and Amohia A South-Sea Day-Dream (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ranolf and Amohia: A South-Sea Day-Dream Or ring-like tusks upthrusting through The notches of his foaming lips, By constant whetting planed away To chisel-sharpness at their tips It weakened him - the knife-dig, too, He caught when first commenced the fray When, as in haste I sprang astride The narrowed gully-just a ditch With flowering koromiko rich Between my feet the villain drove, And fierce, with short indignant sniffs, And grunts like muttering thunder, strove To gain his haunts beyond the cliffs.
