- He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray.
- He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword.
- The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance.
- In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
- At the blast of the trumpet he snorts, 'Aha!' He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

- "He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons.
- "He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword.
- "The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin.
- "With shaking and rage he races over the ground, And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.
- "As often as the trumpet sounds he says, 'Aha!' And he scents the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry.
