Excerpts from the invocation to The Lizard's Cry:

Live long, O little Lizard of tenacious foot and steadfast eye!
Your throat vibrating beats to our defeat and victory!
...
Lizard of alert & shining eye
Lizard witness of each private anguish
...
Scion of a line of trusted Heralds
Enemy of the fly and the malicious spider
watchmen of evil, ...
whose alarm broke the silence...
Who hung watchful...
whose chirrup warned of ... weather
...
Guardian of the ravaged courtyard,
cry now.
...
