〔R112〕 This thing all things devours:

                  Birds, beasts, trees, and flowers.

                  It gnaws iron, bites steel,

                  And grinds hard stones to meal.

〔譯註〕 這東西吞掉萬物：

                  鳥、獸、花卉和樹木。

                  它侵蝕鐵，咬吃鋼，

                  而把硬石頭磨成餐點。

〔提問〕 If it is not lime (石灰) but rhymes with “lime,” what is it?
