[XIX. A god in wrath]
A god in wrathWas beating a man;
He cuffed him loudly
With thunderous blows
That rang and rolled over the earth.
All people came running.
The man screamed and struggled,
And bit madly at the feet of the god.
The people cried,
“Ah, what a wicked man!”
And—
“Ah, what a redoubtable god!”
