Before the gates there sat
On either side a formidable shape;
The one seemed woman to the waste, and fair,
But ended foul in many a scaly fold,
Voluminous and vast -- a serpent armed
With mortal sting; about her middle round
A cry of hell hounds never ceasing barked
With wide Cerberean mouths full loud, and rung
A hideous peal; yet, when they list, would creep,
If aught disturbed their noise, into her womb,
And kennel there; yet there still barked and howled
Within unseen. Far less abhorred than these
Vexed Scylla, bathing in the sea that parts
Calabria from the hoarse Trinacrian shore;
Nor uglier follow the night-hag, when, called
In secret, riding through the air she comes,
Lured with the smell of infant blood, to dance
With Lapland witches, while the labouring moon
Eclipses at their charms. The other shape --
If shape it might be called that shape had none
Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb;
Or substance might be called that shadow seemed,
For each seemed either -- black it stood as night,
Fierce as ten Furies, terrible as hell,
And shook a dreadful dart: what seemed his head
The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
Satan was now at hand, and from his seat
The monster moving onward came as fast
With horrid strides; hell trembled as he strode.
-- John Milton, ed. Gordon Campbell, "Paradise Lost", Book II

***Please, please, please*** test your code against perl-5.24.1-RC4.
This is your last chance to point out any critical regressions before

for v5.24.2!
The final v5.24.1 will ship no sooner than Wednesday 19th October 2016.
