Bagarthach 1: A Curse Verse

Bagarthach’s prey oft are smitten by curses composed in eights and nines. Careful how you phrase what’s written, so you’re not the target of its lines! ---------- From Poet's Collective, a quatrain in 8a:9b:8a:9b used in The Reefs of Earth by American writer R. A Lafferty. There, they were used as curses spoken by an alien race.
