Terror assails her. Hastily + 

Tattiana would attempt to fly, + 

She cannot⁠—then impatiently + 

She strains her throat to force a cry⁠— + 

She cannot⁠—Eugene oped the door + 

And the young girl appeared before + 

Those hellish phantoms. Peals arise + 

Of frantic laughter, and all eyes + 

And hoofs and crooked snouts and paws, + 

Tails which a bushy tuft adorns, + 

Whiskers and bloody tongues and horns, + 

Sharp rows of tushes, bony claws, + 

Are turned upon her. All combine + 

In one great shout: she’s mine! she’s mine! + 
