Bright gleaming like the Day-God's rays:

Thus serpents with their eyes aglow

Adorn their capital below.[378]

Great swords adorned the cottage, laid

Each in a case of gold brocade;

There hung the trusty shields, whereon

With purest gold the bosses shone.

The brace to bind the bowman's arm,

The glove to shield his hand from harm,

A lustre to the cottage lent
