第2169章 XXIV

"I first will trial make" (that lady said)

"Of this choice liquor with rare virtue blest;

Lest haply thou shouldst harbour any dread That mortal poison form these herbs be prest.

With this will I anoint myself, from head Downwards below the naked neck and breast.

Then prove on me thy faulchion and thine arm, And prove if one can smite, the other harm."
