With the golden ring.

Like a swift winged eagle

He passed over the river

And cast the golden ring

Round the waist of the Alan Princess;

Causing much pain to the tender maiden

As he bore her swiftly back to his camp.”

Which being interpreted meaneth that he was commanded to give much gold, leather, and crimson dye in exchange for the maiden. So also they sing of the wedding:

“It rained showers of gold when Artasches became a bridegroom,

It rained pearls when Satenik became a bride.”
