Firmly is grasped by Hacho bold,

The millstone-splitter's hilt of gold,

Whose blows give death on every side,

And, as 'twere water, brass divide;

A cloud of javelins veils the sky;

The crashing shields in splinters fly;

And on the casques of warriors brave

Resounds the stroke of many a glaive.

Now Tyr's and Bauga's weapons brown

Break on the Norman monarch's crown;

Now hotter, fiercer grows the fight,

Low sinks the pride of many a knight.

And, dyed in slaughter's crimson hue,

Torrents of gore their shields bedew;

From meeting weapons lightning gleams;

From gaping wounds the life-blood streams:

With falling corses groans the land,

And purple waves lash Storda's sand.
