第445章 LXXIII

So spake the holy emperor aloud, In humbleness of heart and deep contrition;

And added other prayers withal, and vowed What fitted his great needs and high condition.

Now was his supplication disallowed;

For his good genius hears the king's petition, Best of the seraphs he; who spreads his wings, And to the Saviour's feet this offering brings.
