Quiz pois dar a ultima boqueada com as armas na mão; e ordenando aos seus criados o armassem até á dentuça , elles pozerão-o em uma poltrona, na qual , esgrimindo a catana , desafiava a morte como um rolomonte. | Siward, duke of Northumberland, being very ill, though, he was unworthy of their courage to expect the death in bed; he will die the arms on the hands.
