第170章 LVII

"I have to thank thee that from death, too dread And monstrous, thy good arm deliverance gave;

Which would have been too monstrous, had I fed The beast, and in his belly found a grave:

But cannot thank thee that I am not dead, Since death alone can me from misery save, Well shall I thank thee for that wished relief, Which can deliver me from every grief."
