By God’s grace, and by his own prowess he + 

Hath vanquished striplings four. Ha! not for him, + 

But them, to steal back home shamefacedly + 

Shrinking from taunting tongues through bypaths dim! + 

His victory hath thrilled his old grandsire + 

With strength that o’er eld’s frailty triumpheth. + 

For he that hath attained his heart’s desire + 

Forgetteth death. + 
