Riddle 27I saw a wonderful creature carryingLight plunder between its horns.Curved lamp of the air, cunningly formed,It fetched home its bounty from the day's raidAnd plotted to build in its castle if it could 5A night-chamber brightly adorned.Then over the east wall came another creatureWell known to earth-dwellers. Wonderful as well,It seized back its bounty and sent the plunderer homeLike an unwilling wanderer. The wretch went west,10Moved morosely and murderously on.Dust rose to the heavens, dew fell on earth-Night moved on. Afterwards no oneIn the world knew where the wanderer had gone.
