		+	\|170
		+	\|-
		+	\|That tribe which recently was conquered was rebelling,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Prepared to wage immediate war against the Huns.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The conduct of affairs is placed in Walter’s hands.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|He quickly mustered all the troops in battle ranks
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And fortified the hearts within his warriors,
		+	\|175
		+	\|-
		+	\|Exhorting then to think always of former triumphs,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And vowing he, with his accustomed bravery,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Would slay those tyrants, terrorize the foreign lands.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Without delay, he sets out; all the army follows.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Now he surveyed the battle site and then deployed
		+	\|180
		+	\|-
		+	\|His battle-line, arrayed to fight, through fields and plains.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Within a spear’s throw of each other stand the two
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Assembled armies; from both sides a noise arises
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Into the air: the trumpets blare their awful sound;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|At once from everywhere dense clouds of weapons fly.
		+	\|185
		+	\|-
		+	\|Now ash and cornel-wood joined in a single game.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The lance, once hurled, would flash just like a lightning bolt.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Just as the snow swirls thickly in the winter time,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Not otherwise the warriors cast their savage weapons.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|At last, when every javelin from both the lines
		+	\|190
		+	\|-
		+	\|Was thrown, then every hand is reaching for a sword.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|They draw their flashing blades and swing their shields around;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|At length, the battle lines converge, renew the fray.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Some of the horses charge and shatter breast to breast;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Some of the riders are unhorsed by a hard shield.
		+	\|195
		+	\|-
		+	\|Among the warring host, however, Walter rages;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|He surges forward, hacking down all in his path.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|His foes, when they observe what slaughter he deals out,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|As if afraid to see their death so close at hand,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Whatever place that Walter sought, to right or left,
		+	\|200
		+	\|-
		+	\|Immediately all fling their shields across their backs,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Let loose their horses’ reins, turn tail and flee away.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Then copying their chief, the mighty tribe of Huns,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|More fierce, advances and, more bold, extends the carnage;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|It cuts down those resisting, slaughters those who run
		+	\|205
		+	\|-
		+	\|Until it gains full victory in the lot of war.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Then rushing to the corpses it despoils them all.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|At last the leader calls the troops with his curved horn;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And he was first to bind his brows with festive leaves,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|In public wreathe his temples with triumphant laurel;
		+	\|210
		+	\|-
		+	\|The standard-bearers after him, and then the others.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And now, bound with triumphal garlands, they returned.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Once in the homeland, each went to his dwelling place,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|But Walter hastened to the royal throne at once.
