And one whose cheeks are tinted with the dye of modesty,
With cheeks dyed in the hue of life
In a short tunic stained with the blood of the quarry.
In a short coat stained with blood of his tunic

His glances were fashioned to shed blood,
His glances are inclined to shed blood
And his arrows too—so neither showed mercy.
And his arrows, both did not hesitate

Until, when he entered the arena as a combatant,
Until, when he attended the battleground as an adversary
While the birds were circling and soaring,
And birds (were flying) between soaring and diving

He distracted the birds with the beautiful sight of his face,
He distracted the birds with the beauty of his face
So they halted, and he struck them with pellets.
So they paused and he struck them with his rifle
