| Horse at the horsemen up from off under them mounted the dust cloud | E |
| Up off the plain raised up cloud thick by the thundering horse hooves | C |

| Now as when fire voracious catches the unclipped woodland | G |
| This way bears it and that the great whirl of the wind and the scrubwood | G |
| Stretches uptorn flung forward alength by the fire's fury rageing | H |
| So beneath Atreides Agamemnon heads of the scattered | G |
| Trojans fell and in numbers amany the horses neck stiffened | G |
| Rattled their vacant cars down the roadway gaps of the war field | G |
| Missing the blameless charioteers but for these they were outstretched | G |
| Flat upon earth far dearer to vultures than to their home mates | C |
