第981章 CLIII

As languishes the flower of purple hue, Which levelled by the passing ploughshare lies;

Or as the poppy, overcharged with dew, In garden droops its head in piteous wise:

From life the leader of Zumara's crew So past, his visage losing all its dyes;

So passed from life; and perished with their king, The heart and hope of all his following.
