When. while the bowl stands there, he grooms his tawny steeds, when he hath drunk strong drink, the sweet juice that he:
loves.

Yea, to the dear one's seat in homes of heaven and earth the- bay steeds' Lord hath whinnied like a horse for food.
Then the great wish hath seized upon him mightily, and the beloved One hath gained high power of life.
