LXXXIV.
Tres repelled the foe through [188a] a pool of gore,
And slaughtered like a hero such as asked no quarter, [188b]
With a sling and a spear; [188c]—he flung off his glass goblet
Containing the mead, [188d] and in defence of his sovereignty overthrew an army;
His counsel always prevailed, and the multitude would not speak before him, [188e]
Whilst those that were cowards were not left alive,
Before the onset of his battle-axes, [188f] and his sharpened sword, [188g]
And where his blue banner was seen to wave. [188h]
