The poison of dragons is their wine And the fierce venom of asps.

His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps is in his heart.

Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.

Their poison is as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,

On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

And played hath a suckling by the hole of an asp, And on the den of a cockatrice Hath the weaned one put his hand.

A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips.
