No my Lord ! no, my hunger'll be appeased only with its flesh delicious
I'll
tear organ by organ and relish it, though to you it's salacious."
"That
you can't, but take anything instead, I'll offer to you at once, I abhor
violence to any, and I'll not go back on word, if given once."
"Shall I name my choice, will you keep it up, if proved disastrous
By
likely sniffing out the precious, for my desire's preposterous."
"Leave that doubt and declare openly whatever might be thy object,
I'm
ready to fulfil that one, though aiming at my life as target."
"Then listen and be ready to appease my hunger uncommon sans delay,
Give me
flesh equal to the weight of that shivering dove sans delay."
"Is that all ! I shall cut from my body and give you as desired,
Then come nearer to taste the flesh of my thigh first as desired,"
