>Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property.

>Come here instantly. Come here at once and make your submission, or I will in a week tear you from the midst of your village and hang you
