The Tale of the Armament of Igor · 1915

Part I · IX. The Night After the Battle

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

Translated by Leonard A. Magnus (1915)


The valiant brood of the Olgovici slumbers on the battle-field; afar has it flown. It had not been born to be insulted by hawk or gerfalcon, nor by thee, thou black crow, thou Heathen Polovcin!
