voto
EN There is a picture at Oxford, which I saw when a boy, of an old man with misery in his eye in the act of copying a book; and the story attached (I forget whether with any historic foundation), is that he was under a vow to copy out some great portion of the Bible before he allowed himself (or was allowed) to eat.
GL Hai unha pintura en Oxford, que vin cando neno, dun vello, coa tristeza no seu ollo, no acto de copiar un libro; e a lenda anexa (esquezo se con algún fundamento histórico) era que fixera voto de copiar unha gran parte da Biblia antes de permitirse (ou de que lle permitisen) comer.
