The foeman from the friend descry.

“Rákshas or Vánar? say;” cried each,

And foe knew foeman by his speech.

“Why wilt thou fly? O warrior, stay:

Smote through the gloom each listening ear.

Each swarthy rover of the night

Whose golden armour flashed with light,

Showed like a towering hill embraced
