Page 446. Continuation of 'Abelars ovnt-tfile': child grows 'in anung' (in premonition). 'Sakone' (danger — Hebrew 'sakanah') comes from all sides 'oyf shverdn tsu raytn' (to ride on swords). Danger 'farshtelt far a gutn zeydn' (disguised as good grandfather), speaks 'farkishoft' (bewitched) with 'getlekh reydn' (godly speech). Hand throws 'duner blitsn' (thunder lightning). 'Khapt dos kind oyf shverdike shpitsn' (catches child on sword points). 'Shtekht, un zingt nokh' (stabs and sings): child stabbed — 'got, dayn gvure un dayn nitsokhn' (God, your might and victory — Hebrew 'gvura', 'nitzachon'). 'Kop Abelars oyf harte foystn' (Abelard's head on hard fists). Medieval violence against lovers, their child as innocent victim.
