Part II · VIII. Reproach to Yaroslav Vsevolodic and the Princes

by Anonymous (The Lay of Igor's Campaign) late 12th century (campaign of 1185)

Translated by Leonard A. Magnus (1915)


Oh Yaroslav [Vsevolodic] and all the scions of Vseslav, ye should now lower your standards and sheathe your maimed swords; for ye have now leapt away from the Glory of your grandfathers.

Ye, with your discords, began to lead the Pagans on to Russian soil, against the life of Vseslav. From strife there has been oppression from the land of the Polovtsy.
