Dragon lurks in his gloomy cavern. He slinks and he stalks. His covetous heart goads him to venture forth to slay and to steal, for he must increase his hoard of gold and gems and glittery things for which he has no use. He bides and he broods. The same black heart warns him not to leave his treasure for even a moment, lest he be robbed. His roving eye flashes with fires that burn deep within him. He slinks. He stalks. He bides. He broods.
