Even angels run for cover when he surfaces,

cowering before his tail-thrashing turbulence.

Javelins bounce harmlessly off his hide,

harpoons ricochet wildly.

When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid;

at the crashing they are beside themselves.

Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail,

nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.

No sword can stop it,

no spear, dart, or javelin.

By reason of breakings they purify themselves.

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold:

The spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
