Translation of "Coils" in Portuguese

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.

Destacam-se entre as ondas as cabeças / empinadas e as rubras e altas cristas; / o restante dos corpos volumosos / desliza em grandes arcos sobre o mar.

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.

Eis porém que, de Tênedos saindo, / dois dragões (horripilo-me ao contar) / na superfície do mar calmo alongam / seus imensos anéis e, lado a lado, / avançam rumo ao nosso litoral.
