BEHRAM AND EDDETMA

Against each prince now she had held her own,

An easy victor for the seven years

O'er kings and sons of kings—Eddetma, she,

Who, when much sought in marriage, hating men,

Espoused their ways to win beyond their strength

Through martial exercise and hero deeds:

She, who, accomplished in all warlike arts,

Had heralds cry through every kingdom known—
