And full-length coats of mail, as though woven
And cloaks as though they were woven
Of mirage, so clear is their gleaming surface.
By machines from the finest silk thread

If a horseman dons them, they spill down,
If a knight dons them, they glitter
As though he were sowing them in the dust.
As though he sows them in the soil

They seem, as hands touch them,
As though when hands touch them
Mottled vipers, almost stinging those hands.
They are snakeskin that could almost bite
