Basilisk

The ancients believed it to be similar to a cockatrice,
Now we know it as a giant snake,
With a heart full of malice,
Just one look and your life it will take.

Born of a reptile egg hatched under a cockerel,
The king of serpents,
Will send you to hell,
Your need to get away is urgent.

The weasel is its mortal enemy,
Like cobra versus mongoose,
From its powers weasels are free,
From the stone prison you’ll never break loose.
