1. And for many a tattered garment I've risked
My life to mend when called by valorous deeds

2. Timid as arrows at first, in fright taking cover,
Yet when the battle was joined, most fierce indeed

3. The talk of fair-faced youths on a pitch-black night
Slumber and passion both shrouding each noble steed

4. Time has disheveled their hair, yet they seem
Intoxicated, though no wine have they freed
