They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
Þei schulen take bowe and swerd, þei ben cruel and vnmerciful; þe vois of hem schal sowne as þe see, and þei schulen stie on horsis as a man maad redi to batel, ayens þee, thou douyter of Babiloyne.
