Then the golden knight undertakes to take the silvered king and queen, and says, Good-morrow! Then the silvered archer salutes them, and was taken by a golden nymph, and she herself by a silvered one.
The fight was obstinate and sharp.

The wardens left their posts, and advanced to relieve their friends.

The battle was doubtful, and victory hovered over both armies.

Now the silvered host charge and break through their enemy's ranks as far as the golden king's tent, and now they are beaten back.

The golden queen distinguishes herself from the rest by her mighty achievements still more than by her garb and dignity; for at once she takes an archer, and, going sideways, seizes a silvered warden.
