Curved lamp of the air, cunningly formed, It fetched home its bounty from the day's raid And plotted to build in its castle if it could 5 A night-chamber brightly adorned. Then over the east wall came another creature Well known to earth-dwellers. Wonderful as well, It seized back its bounty and sent the plunderer home Like an unwilling wanderer.
