“These shafts of mine which ne'er can fail,

Before whose sheen the sun grows pale,

Winged by my fury, fleet and fierce,

The wicked Báli's heart shall pierce.

Yea, mark the words I speak, so long

Shall live that wretch who joys in wrong,

Until these angered eyes have seen

The robber of thy darling queen.

I, taught by equal suffering, know

What waves of grief above thee flow.
