werewolf story 3rd-4th paragraph

Melissa mea mirari coepit , quod tam sero ambularem , et " Si ante , " inquit , " venisses , saltem nobis adiutasses ; lupus enim villam intravit et omnia pecora tanquam lanius sanguinem illis misit . Nec tamen derisit , etiamsi fugit ; senius enim noster lancea collum eius traiecit ' . Haec ut audivi , operire oculos amplius non potui , sed luce clara Gai nostri domum fugi tanquam copo compilatus ; et postquam veni in illum locum , in quo lapidea vestimenta erant facta , nihil inveni nisi sanguinem . Ut vero domum veni , iacebat miles meus in lecto tanquam bovis , et collum illius medicus curabat . Intellexi illum versipellem esse , nec postea cum illo panem gustare potui , non si me occidisses . Viderint quid de hoc alii exopinissent ; ego si mentior , genios vestros iratos habeam . "
My
Melissa
began
to
marvel
that
I
was
walking
so
slowly
and
said
,
"
If
you
had
come
earlier
,
you
would
have
at
least
been
a
help
to
us
.
For
a
wolf
entered
the
house
and
slaughtered
all
of
the
flocks
like
a
butcher
.
Nor
,
however
,
did
he
get
the
last
laugh
,
even
though
he
fled
.
For
our
older
[
slave
]
pierced
his
neck
with
a
spear
.
"
As
I
heard
these
things
,
I
was
not
able
to
close
my
eyes
any
more
,
but
with
the
light
being
bright
I
fled
to
the
house
of
our
guy
Gaius
like
a
robbed
innkeeper
.
And
after
I
came
back
to
that
place
in
which
the
clothes
had
been
turned
into
stone
,
I
found
nothing
except
blood
.
But
as
I
came
to
the
house
,
my
soldier
was
lying
in
bed
like
a
bull
,
and
a
doctor
was
caring
for
his
neck
.
I
understood
that
he
was
a
werewolf
,
and
afterwards
I
was
not
able
to
share
bread
with
him
,
even
if
you
were
to
kill
me
.
Let
others
see
whatever
they
may
think
about
this
,
if
I
am
lying
,
let
me
have
your
angry
gods
.
