merovingian mandate hath brought him thus
yonder shall he now gone
traverse the waters to conquer new realm
ahebban the head of rome
none shall stand to block his path

but hark he this in silent sound
lamenting feorran
one army with a thousand strengths
oust not a heorte berstan
draca breath a hellish bryne; quell doth a eard nemnan
