We sailed on, though sick at heart nHeavy rowing broke the slaves nOn the sixth day, the sun didn't rise nAs we headed from the east nThen we came upon land of th Laistrygones nHorrendous legendary fiends nnThese residents, an old children's myth nThe flesh of human men they eat nnBloodbath nSkin reapers nSlaughter nMeat gatherers nCannibal nMassacre!!! nnThe harbors ingress, a narrow precipice nAll the boats steer themselves in nI tied my ship to a rock beyond nThe entrance to this bordered niche nThree scouts we're sent, on reconnaissance nWhat abides beyond these cliffs? nAt Artakia's stream, they met a giant dame nThe daughter of King Antiphates nnThe towering palace a lofty keep nThe gruesome queen stands fifty feet nShe called her king to greet his guests nRipped one in two and ate the rest nnThe terrifying king cried out! nnArise! Barbaric Laystrigones! nOur meat has come to us. Tonight we gnaw on humans. nnSwarms of them came, lawless giant guild nHurling rocks from the cliffs nA violent roar, from the din of streams nAmid my fleet as men we're killed nSpearing men like fish, to my astonishment nStacking bodies on a stick nWe sailed on, though sick at heart nBarely thwarting perishment nnBloodbath nSkin reapers nSlaughter nMeat gatherers nCannibal nMassacre!!!
