第2272章 LIV

I think that blow was by some angel stayed, To save Rogero from the mischief near:

Yet at the king (nor answer he delayed)

He dealt a stroke more terrible than e'er.

As Mandricardo's head he aims his blade, But such the fury of the cavalier, And such his haste, he less my blame deserves, If slanting from the mark his faulchion swerves.
