3 as an ox goes to the slaughter
"как вол на убой", покорно, безропотно [этим. библ. Proverbs VII, 22]On the day of my departure I was up a little after five; by six we began to load the donkey; and ten minutes after, my hopes were in the dust. The pad would not stay on Modestine's back for half a moment... and I went forth from the stable-door as an ox goeth to the slaughter. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Travels with a Donkey’, ‘The Donkey, the Pack, and the Pack-Saddle’) — В день отъезда я встал в начале шестого. В шесть мы начали нагружать ишака. А через десять минут все мои надежды рассыпались в прах. Мягкое седло и минуты не держалось на спине Модестины... я вышел из стойла, чувствуя себя игрушкой в руках судьбы.
