第2409章 XCVII

"Dost thou, as matched with me mistrust thy force, (And that thou wert ill paired was seen whilere,)

And more esteemest life than fame, a course Remains, which thee may from thy peril clear.

And thou, if thou in peace resign the horse, May'st live, if life be deemed so passing dear;

But live afoot, unmeriting a steed, That dost by chivalry such foul misdeed."
