we a) Of the Titan progeny ; 
‘a One of that old race that sleep, 
ye In the fossil mountains deep! 
: Elephant, thou must be one !— 
Kindred to the Mastodon,— 
One that didst in friendship mix 
With the huge Megalonix ; 
With the Mammoth hadst command 
O’er the old-world forest-land. 
Thou, those giant ferns didst see, 
Taller than the tallest tree; 
And with up-turned trunk didst browse, 
On the reed-palms’ lowest boughs ;
