HYMN XCV

An incantation against an undetected thief

1To heaven, as 'twere, have soared this man's two vultures,
   staggering, dusky hued.
  The Parcher and the Drier-up, the pair who parch and dry his
   heart.
2I verily have stirred them up like oxen resting after toil.
  Like two loud-snarling curs, or like two wolves who watch to
   make their spring:
3Like two that thrust, like two that pierce, like two that strike
   with mutual blows.
  I bind the conduit of the man or dame who hence hath taken
   aught.
