第1168章 XLI

" `But since deprived of all humanity Are human bosoms in this cruel land, I shall not now request my life of thee, (For fruitless would, I know, be the demand)

But, whether a good knight or bad I be, Ask but like such to die with arms in hand, And not as one condemned to penal pain;

Or like brute beast in sacrifice be slain.'
