So much success the soldier-troop won,
Bold under banners and in battle-strife
Through the counsel of the clever Judith,
335 Maiden high-minded. As meed for her bravery,
From the field of battle, the bold-hearted earls
Brought in as her earnings the arms of Holofernes,
His broad sword and bloody helmet, likewise his breast-armor large,
Chased with choice red gold, all that the chief of the warriors,
340 The betrayer, possessed of treasure, of beautiful trinkets and heirlooms,
Bracelets and brilliant gems. All these to the bright maid they gave
