So silently we seemed to speak, So slowly moved about, As we had lent her half our powers To eke her living out.

Seite 299 - The supplicating tears of the women and moving petitions of the men melt me into such deadly sorrow, that I solemnly declare, if I know my own mind, I could offer myself a willing sacrifice to the butchering enemy, provided that would contribute to the people's ease.
