2/57

Behold the corpse, not of a prince, but of a fratricide.

Indeed, it was a sorrier sight when ye saw our prince lying lamentably butchered by a most infamous fratricide-brother, let me not call him.

With your own compassionating eyes ye have beheld the mangled limbs of Horwendil; they have seen his body done to death with many wounds.

Surely that most abominable butcher only deprived his king of life that he might despoil his country of freedom! The hand that slew him made you slaves.

Who then so mad as to choose Feng the cruel before Horwendil the righteous?
Remember how benignantly Horwendil fostered you, how justly he dealt with you, how kindly he loved you.
