Theriak - Baal - Theriak

And then he fell, and darkness crept across his eyes
And atrocious arch pounced into his mouth, and all through ran the brazen lance
Deep inside beyond the brain, splitting the white bones
Expelled were the teeth, both eyes filled with blood
Spouted wide out of mouth and nostrils, and death’s black fume surrounded him
As if rabid wolves lunge at lambs and goats, and wrest them away from the flock
That is scattered in the mountains due to the shepherd’s ignorance
Those, beholding these, immediately mob them and lacerate them
These timorous beings
Thus lunged Theriak at Baal
