He made a shield and morion
of coral and of ivory,
a sword he made of emerald,
and terrible his rivalry
with elven-knights of Aerie
and Faerie, with paladins
that golden-haired and shining-eyed
came riding by and challenged him.

Lo scudo e un elmo fabbricò
d’avorio e di corallo,
smeraldi in spada poi forgiò
e a guerra andò terribile
contro gli Elfi di Aeria;
e i paladin di Faeria,
coi lampi agli occhi e i capei d’or,
in groppa lo voller sfidar.
