"She is for you! Take her! I promised it!

Take her, my bullies!"—shouting so, he flung

Her in their midst. Then, on her poor hands (split,

And beaten by his dagger when she clung

Resisting him) and knees, she crept a bit

Nearer his feet and begged for death. No tongue

Can tell the way he turned from her and cursed,

Then bade his men draw lots for which were first.
