And for a footstool meet

The azure sky adorned with stars

Awaits her dove-like feet.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The sharp sword glitters in the air,

And swift the red blood flows;

Santoukhd, who was a lily fair,

Falls to the earth, a rose.

The sword flashed once, and aspects three

Were in Santoukhd descried;
