[Machine] He is called the donkey of the dove, a muscular man with a white sword in his hand. I struck his legs and it seemed as if I had missed him, but he stumbled and fell on his back. I took his sword and sheathed mine. I struck him only once until it broke, then I threw it away and took my sword back.
