Tell me, I still beseech Thee, tell:

To know it now, resolved I am:

Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,

Till I thy Name, thy nature know.

’Tis all in vain to hold thy tongue, 25

Or touch the hollow of my thigh;

Though every sinew be unstrung,

Out of my arms Thou shalt not fly:

Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,

Till I thy Name, thy nature know. 30
