:54:00
But no one came!
:54:04
With one hand he tried to silence me,
:54:08
and with the other he held me so tightly
:54:12
that I thought myself defeated.
:54:16
Perfidy! And then?
:54:18
Finally the pain,
the horror of his vile attack
:54:23
increased my strength,
so that in trying to free myself,
:54:30
twisting and turning,
:54:37
I escaped from him.
:54:47
Alas! I breathe again.
:54:50
I then redoubled my screams,
:54:54
I cried for help,
:54:58
the knave fled.
:55:01
Boldly I followed him
into the street to stop him,
:55:07
and thus the attacked became the attacker.
:55:13
My father rushed to help,
:55:16
wanting to know who it was.
And the vile one,
:55:19
being stronger than the poor old man,
:55:24
perpetrated his crime
:55:33
by killing him!
:55:41
Now you know who
:55:45
tried to steal my honor,
:55:49
who was the traitor,
:55:53
who took my father from me.
