Ain't that the sad truth?

Why not

"Let all the poison, that lurks in the mud, hatch out"?

Or even

"Let all the poison hatch out that lurks in the mud"?

Those are far clearer ways to separate to separate the relative clause out,
so that the reader can connect the following verb to the subject.

Maybe it's just a simple case of different strokes for different folks
combined with language change in progress.

Youneverknow.
