"Nor angel" -- good Astolpho made reply-- "Nor new Messiah, I from heaven descend;
No less a mortal and a sinner I, To such high grace unworthy to pretend.
To slay the monsters I all means will try, Or drive them from the realm which they offend.
If I shall prosper, be thy praises paid To God alone, who sent me to thine aid.
