第496章 CXXIV

Down from the wall Andropono and Moschine He cast into the ditch: a priest the first;

The second, but a worshipper of wine, Drained, at a draught, whole runlets in his thirst;

Aye wonted simple water to decline, Like viper's blood or venom: now immersed In this, he perishes amid that slaughter;

And, what breeds most affliction, dies by water.
