1. I have not seen the likes of the group who followed one another
To the trunk with no sleepy guards around

2. They passed away certain that to a predetermined fate their lives were bound
Not one of them that did not lower his brows

3. Toward it with a solemn heart and sharp sword
And when they met they did not meet with an old man

4. Of feeble bones nor a beardless youth
Like his father when the prime of his strength had passed

5. Fifty, say, in boldness and perfection
