Those two men, tigers among men, will decisively crush the enemy host with maces, lances, swords, arrows, and javelins hurled by the strength of their arms.

Eager for battle, like two leaders of a herd sporting in the fray, they will range amid the formations, O great king, like agents of inevitable fate.
