[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,
