It has a tail, a side and a head
I call it what I call a snake
It has no body and it is dead
One speaks for me
Two serve me
Six protect me
How many defy me?
I am twice as old as three times the age of
the Sphinx of Gazia, Agamamnus,
divided by one-ninth the age of
the Sphinx of Canus, Igon,
who left this world twenty-six years ago.
What then is my age?
