| 1 an eagle swooped down upon a serpent and seized it in his talons with the intention of carrying it off and devouring it | |
| 2 but the serpent was too quick for him and had its coils round him in a moment | |
| 3 and then there ensued a life-and-death struggle between the two | |
| 4 a countryman who was a witness of the encounter came to the assistance of the eagle and succeeded in freeing him from the serpent and enabling him to escape | |
| 5 in revenge the serpent spat some of his poison into the man 's drinking-horn | |
| 6 heated with his exertions the man was about to slake his thirst with a draught from the horn when the eagle knocked it out of his hand and spilled its contents upon the ground |
