Fiercely repulsed, they dare once more the wave Fired with undying zeal their Prince to save; And when night flings her sable mantle o'er The giant crags where sea-hawks idly soar, They unmolested gain the wished-for land, And soon with rapid steps bestride the strand.

There are cromlechs set in the midst of titanic circles of stone, with lesser boulders guarding the cromlechs closer at hand.
