Around is thick with jarring sounds of birds

That in confusion fly—so fell the words

Of Bukka on that scene, where all was joy,

Where, like a beehive, swarmed the surging crowd,

To see the marriage of their princess dear;

And straightway in confusion wild they ran

Without a purpose, but in various ways.

Unto their homes some ran the news t'acquaint,

Some to the wounded Bukka and his horse,

But many to the riverside to find
