If any of the Araehnean race, Fat and well-filled be near, let him beware Of thee, old Spider; with such stealthy pace That travellest through the frore autumnal air: So fierce a hunger drives thee from thy lair, To feed like Ugolino on thy kind; Rapine is all before thee; and behind Thy broken web — that on its film doth bear Thick drops of cold uncomfortable dew, Like those which on the dying leaves are spread. The flies creep doors and window corners through; Gaunt are thy sides — no more by tree or shed, Can they that pensile; citadel renew, In which thy gluttonous youth so full was fed. (The Spider)
