qtii sent les cadavres

*' So saying, with delight he snufif'd the smell Of mortal change on earth, as when a flock Of ravenous fowl, though many a league remote, Against the day of battle, to a field, Where armies lie encampt, corne flying, lur'd With scent of living carcases design'd For death, the following day, in bloody fight. So scented the grim feature." X. 273 — 281.
