The Lioness Charges the Prince

From C7.3, The Lions of the Second Stage. It illustrates C7.3.15–20:

C7.3.15
He went ahead; as he approached the pair,The lion’s heart grew dark with deep despair.
C7.3.16
A lion and a lioness were near;Both charged to meet the prince, devoid of fear.
C7.3.17
The lion charged; he struck a mighty blow;Its face took on the coral’s crimson glow.
C7.3.18
From head to waist he cleft the beast in two,And in its mate a sudden terror grew.
C7.3.19
Yet like her mate she rushed with savage breath;His blade struck at her head and brought her death.
C7.3.20
Her head rolled in the dust; the blood ran brightOn his strong hands and chest, red from the fight.
