May chance to spring up armed men
From their letters, baneful signs,
Semata lugra, taken
From the dragon’s pried mouth, from
The violent intentions
Of plausible denial,
From the warrior goddess’s
Instructions, which seem mostly
Meant for her own amusement.
A subtle allegorist,
Milton understood this well—
That alphabet of Cadmus
Held the dragon’s teeth itself.
But where is the dragon now?
