第1190章 LXIV

"Methinks my fate does such injurious deed By me, condemned to servitude so base, As he who turns to grass the generous steed To run amid the herd of meaner race, Because unfit for war or worthier meed, Through blemish, or disease of sight or pace.

Nor hoping but by death, alas! to fly So vile a service, I desire to die."
