With Bow let us win kine, with Bow in battle, with
Bow be victory in our hot encounters,
The Bow brings grief and sorrow to the foeman: armed
with the Bow may we subdue all regions.
Close to his ear, as fain to speak, she presses, holding
her well-loved friend in her embraces.
Strained on the bow, she whispers like a woman – this
Bow-string that preserves us in the combat (VI, 75)
