And spake in words more excellent:

“Where is the dauntless heart that free

From terror's chilling touch can see

Two stranger warriors, strong as those,

Equipped with swords and shafts and bows,

With mighty arms and large full eyes,

Like glorious children of the skies?

Báli my foe, I ween, has sent

These chiefs to aid his dark intent.

Hence doubt and fear disturb me still,
