The Tale of the Armament of Igor · 1915
Part I · II. The Narrative
Translated by Leonard A. Magnus (1915)
Let us begin, my brothers, this tale from the elder Vladimir up to your contemporary Igor, who extended his mind with firmness and sharpened his heart with manliness; and, filling himself with war-like spirit, led his brave hosts to the land of Polovtsy, for the sake of the land of the Russians.
