into the forest black
 * To the nobles of the land,

And seven nobles there were met,
 * Each with a valiant band:

Beside him speedeth Vyhon Dub,
 * All in the gloom of night;

His band is of a hundred men,
 * All ready for the fight.

Sharp swords are in a hundred sheaths,
 * Strong arms to every sword,

And every heart to Vyhon true,
 * Attendant on his word.
