And as her longing and passion redoubled and love and distraction were sore upon her, she poured forth tears and repeated the following verses: My longing after thee, my moon, my foeman is; The thought of thee by night doth comrade with me dwell. I pass the darksome hours, and in my bosom flames A fire, for heat that's like the very fire of hell.
She could not understand it, for, with all her tenderness and womanly sweetness, she was still a Martian, and to a Martian the only good enemy is a dead enemy; for every dead foeman means so much more to divide between those who live. I was very curious to know what I had said or done to cause her so much perturbation a moment before and so I continued to importune her to enlighten me.
Thus saying, he leaped upon his foeman, took him by the middle with a vigorous grip, and threw him to the earth. Then he tore off his helmet.

At this perilous moment Merlin advanced. "Knight, hold thy hand," he cried.
"We've quaffed the soma bright And are immortal grown, We've entered into light And all the gods have known. What mortal can now harm, Or foeman vex us more? Through thee beyond alarm, Immortal God! we soar."
