Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1To heaven, as 'twere, have soared this man's two vultures,
    staggering, dusky hued.
   The Parcher and the Drier-up, the pair who parch and dry his
    heart.
 2I verily have stirred them up like oxen resting after toil.
   Like two loud-snarling curs, or like two wolves who watch to
    make their spring:
 3Like two that thrust, like two that pierce, like two that strike
    with mutual blows.
   I bind the conduit of the man or dame who hence hath taken
    aught.
