第1116章 XCVII

If heavy falls the savage damsel's blade, That falls not lightly of her warlike foe.

Equal the measure one the other paid;

And both receive as much as they bestow.

He who would see two daring spirits weighed, To seek two fiercer need no further go.

Nor to seek more dexterity or might;

For greater could not be in mortal wight.
