1. Death cannot be evaded by caution
Even if the thicket and darkness protect him

2. Broad shouldered, muscular
His joints arranged, interlaced

3. Time has let them down
Its sharp edge is inevitable

4. Do not weep for them if they are killed
Their patience with killing is preferable

5. War only told that
Vile people attacked them

6. Attacked by those who cannot appreciate
The honor of people and gain it

7. Civilized, gentle folk
Taken by violent, rude people

8. So they saw to flee hastily
And haste has no carefulness

9. With blood, mud and filthy injuries
The pants got stained

10. It is said predestination guards him
So he survived while the saddle was soaked
