Show them, as we dance to victory,
Allah is the only God!
Know that all who fall in battle,
Shall to-day in Eden's garden
With the fair immortal maidens
Dance the rapturous houri-dance.
The two armies now file off—the Moorish king gives the signal for battle, and the figures of the dance begin; there are twelve of them.
Louder music, sharper, clearer!
Nugalone and Colonna
Onward to the charge are springing,
