“Seize, seize the Vánar, let him die.”

Four of his band their lord obeyed,

And eager hands on Angad laid.

He purposing his strength to show

Gave no resistance to the foe,

But swiftly round his captors cast

His mighty arms and held them fast.

Fierce shout and cry around him rang:

Light to the palace roof he sprang,

There his detaining arms unwound,
