the great caravan routes entering the Sahara from the south.
And worn with onset, falls upon his foe
And braves alone the wounds of all the war.

Oppressed by frequent darts, break those that fall
Rebounding from his horny hide, and shake
Those that find lodgment, while his life within
Lies safe, protected, nor doth spear avail
To reach the fount of blood. Unnumbered wounds
