"The Booklover and His Books"
Harry Lyman Koopman
And more he said, but not in mind I have it; Because mine eye had altogether drawn me Tow'rds the high tower with the red-flaming summit, Where in a moment saw I swift uprisen The three infernal Furies stained with blood, Who had the limbs of women and their mien, And with the greenest hydras were begirt; Small serpents and cerastes were their tresses, Wherewith their horrid temples were entwined.
"Divine-Comedy-Longfellow-s-Translation-Complete"
Dante Alighieri
Now neither the Cobra nor the cerastes is actually a water serpent.
