Seite 380 - Nor scathe had he, nor harm nor dread, But, the same couch beneath, Lay a gaunt wolf, all torn and dead, Tremendous still in death. Ah, what was then Llewelyn's pain ! For now the truth was clear : His gallant hound the wolf had slain To save Llewelyn's heir.

I kept him for his humour's sake, For he would oft beguile My heart of thoughts that made it ache, And force me to a smile.
