1. Did not the news come to you, spreading,
Of what I faced on the day of parting?

2. When their riders began departing,
We assaulted the people with slender spears.

3. The sheaths were emptied of the swords,
And the horses were relieved of the saddles.

4. Had we not protected those behind us,
The group would have slipped into error.

5. On the day of Armath we protected in earnest,
And some of the people deserved beauty.
