      they in their fear , " Let us make court to this monster and do him honour ; and let us offer linto him even of our own brave and good men , and of our own gentle women , and of our own helpless babes , and , peradventurej his wrath will be appeased , " But the monster grew more savageand more cruel , and he

      , thirsted after blood , even as the hunted deer thirsts after water : and he passed to and fro over all the land ; and all the people . feared him , for he was very fierce and very cruel . And at last the people of the land of Smaragdus grew exceeding wrath , and they cried out to the princes and rulers of

      the land , " Slay this monster that your forefathers have created , lest he make our land desolate and our homes childless . " And the princes and rulers of the land said , " Nay , tarry a little and have patienceand , peradventure , he will go hence
