I love thee with a strong and sisterly love; but I would know mine own heart better ere I promise more. We will be content with this knowledge for the nonce.

"She knew not, till thou wert gone," continued Kaid.
"Almighty Father, who always wert and art, have pity on my soul. Ah, Beatrice! thou sweet, gentle wife, never more shalt thou see me under heaven. Fair brother Garin of Lorraine, never shall I be with thee to serve thee. My two noble boys, if I had lived, you should have been the worthiest of knights: now, may Heaven defend you!"

Alas, abandoned by all these, viz., gods, guests, and Pitris, thou leadest a life, of wandering mendicancy, O king, having cast off all action. Thou wert, before this, the supporter of thousands of Brahmanas versed in the three Vedas and of many more besides. How canst thou desire to beg of them thy own food today?

For thou hast imputed to an evil creator that which was formed only for a good end, namely, sharks, which were made on purpose to devour useless carcasses like thine. Moreover, as a brother of the Rose, thou wert bound by the vow of thy brotherhood to have leaped joyfully down that shark's mouth. Jack.
