第2784章 XXIX

"There earned I, above all men, what no more Time nor yet Death from me shall take away;

And it behoved our Lord, of whom I bore Such testimony, so my paints to pay.

It grieves me much for them, on whom her door Courtesy closes on a stormy day;

Who meagre, pale, and worn with hopeless suit, Knock night and day, and ever without fruit.
