[They] spurned not the speech nor despised its teaching,
[As] the wise man ended his words of exhorting
And the noise diminished and mingled with the sound.
310 Then the [fourth tribe] traveled foremost,
Went into the waves, the warriors in a band
Over the green ground; the goodly Jewish troop
Struggled alone over the strange path
Before their kinsmen. So the King of heaven
315 For that day’s work made deep reward,
He gave them a great and glorious victory,
