"Slender-flanked, long-striding, fierce, swift, / firm of spine, supple of joint;
When he looks around, his glance is so keen / it is as if he gazes through a bee-swarm;
He squats like a nomad warming himself at a fire; / he runs over rough ground as though racing on a plain,
With four twisted [limbs] unbent, / hands like the paws of a desert cat, legs dappled;
His tracks leave their likeness in the hard rock; / in his leap, from his agility,
He nearly joins his back to his chest; / possessing a smooth tail, not weaponless."
