لمرهفة الا تُجدَّوا صقالها
Is it their judgment, or has time brought a turn of fortune
Are their dreams or has time come in a fit
To a keen-edged sword? Will you not renew its polish?
To gentle souls who find no burnishing?

The champions left it to one another, until it was as though
The heroes entrust it as though they see
They saw its blades as the stranger’s ploughs.
The stranger's swords flashing their blades.
