  1. O God,
    Why keepest though not the mist off from us,
    if perchance we may reckon the number
    of the host that deprives us of judgments.
    • A host that marches around a cairn,
      'Tis a son of storm that betrays them.
      He is my druid that denies me not,
      The Son of God it is who will work with me.
      • Beautiful it makes the onset,
        Baetán's steed before the host,
        It seems good to Baetán of the yellow hair,
        It will bear its burden upon it.
