Here I am now nailed down in this foul sewer, and Fabrizio in chains in the citadel, in that citadel which for so many eminent men has been the ante-room of death; and I can no longer keep that tiger cowed by the fear of seeing me leave his den.
Estolda zikin-lohi honetan nago orain iltzatua, eta Fabrice, berriz, gotorlekuan kateatua, pertsona bikain askorentzat heriotzaren ataria izan den gotorleku horretan kateatua! Bere gordezulotik alde egingo diodan beldurrez arrastoan sartua ezin jadanik eduki nik, ordea, piztia krudel hori!
