Translation of "Coils" in French

Their breasts erect they rear amid the deep, / their blood-red crests above the surface shine, / their hinder parts along the waters sweep, / trailed in huge coils and many a tortuous twine.

Le cou dressé, levant une crête sanglante, / de leur tête orgueilleuse ils dominent les eaux ; / le reste au loin se traîne en immenses anneaux.

When lo! – the tale I shudder to pursue – / from Tenedos in silence, side by side, / two monstrous serpents, horrible to view, / with coils enormous leaning on the tide, / shoreward, with even stretch, the tranquil sea divide.

Quand deux affreux serpents, sortis de Ténédos, / ( j'en tremble encor d'horreur ! ) s'allongent sur les flots ; / par un calme profond, fendant l'onde écumante.
