The horseman and the charger too,

And infantry unnumbered sent

To dwell 'neath Yáma's government.

Then rose on high a fearful yell

Of rovers of the night, who fell

Beneath that iron torrent, sore

Wounded by shafts that rent and tore.

So mangled by the ceaseless storm

Of shafts of every kind and form,

Such joy they found, as forests feel
