The composed pose before battle ;  sinews
Set .   Poise in contrapposto .   A rock,
Locked in a block cast aside in Carrera ;
Before casting a rock :   the top uncarved
Braggadocio, shock of intricate waves
Cascading away—rock beats sword .   Noble
Nudity :   armorless.   Gazing toward Rome .
Intent :   brow furrowed .   The sling resting,
The rock ready, in a righteous right hand—
Manu fortis .   Left foot flexed :   deft .   
The Giant succumbs to the artist .
