"’On the cross,’ cried I, rising, for at that abhorred voice I had recovered all my strength, ’on the cross I swear that no promise, no menace, no force, no torture, shall close my mouth! On the cross I swear to denounce you everywhere as a murderer, as a thief of honor, as a base coward!
¡Sobre la cruz! Juro, si alguna vez consigo salir de aquí, pedir venganza contra vos al género humano entero.»
