Then he darted off, running across the fearsome plain,
He obeyed and hurried across the vast desert
swerving away from one vigorous and swift,
Singing tunefully with great speed

Until he approached the glow of the palaces
from a downy bird with drooping plumes.
With fluttering, trailing robes

The two clashed beneath the banking one's wing,
Then they met under the wing of night
with a fresh blow upon the glossy one,
With a sharp new blow on polished steel

Engraved with patterns and ornaments
