Poured, some unstained, while others dyed

Gold, ashy, silver, ochre, bore

The tints of every mountain ore.

In that sweet time, when all are pleased,

My arrows and my bow I seized;

Keen for the chase, in field or grove,

Down Sarjú's bank my car I drove.

I longed with all my lawless will

Some elephant by night to kill,

Some buffalo that came to drink,
