Up stepped the brave spacefarers
And faded every cent,
Then with a beastful swagger
The trio up and went.

Next morning when they blasted,
All K'Antha was agog.
The fate that spacemen forecast
shouldn't happen to a dog.

With never a timid quiver,
The Hounds of Space relate,
Glubglub, Zob[[?]], and Zor[[?]] D'Aan
Hurtled to meet their fate.

From greater pitted [[?]]
They studied Terra well,
But now naught[[?]] of the [[?]]
Of which the legends tell.

Late the flossy[[?]] canopy[[?]]
[[?]] Terra's face,
Softly as down they drifted --
And discovered the human[[?]] race

Cities and [[?]] [[?]]
They marked with practised eye.
Quoth Zeb, "We'll conquer Terra
As easily as pie."

"Is all its watery reashes[[?]]
No spacecraft can be seen.
The folk are savage primitives
With hardly an air [[?]]. "
