The heart melts, and the knees shake;
Much pain is in every side,
And all their faces1 are drained of color.
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub,
And no one made them afraid?
1Killed for his lionesses,
aFilled his caves with prey,
And his dens with1 flesh.
