A man will perish by each of
them," etc.
"I beheld another trio there. Three plates of gold over their heads.
Three speckled mantles about them: three linen shirts with red
insertion: three golden brooches in their mantles: three wooden darts
above them on the wall."
"Those I know," says Fer rogain: "the three poets of that king: Sui and
Rodui and Fordui: three of the same age, three brothers: three sons of
Maphar of the Mighty Song. A man will perish for each of them, and every
pair will keep between them one man's victory. Woe to him who shall
wreak the Destruction!" etc.
THE ROOM OF THE SERVANT-GUARDS
"There I beheld two warriors standing over the king. Two curved shields
they had, and two great pointed swords. Red kilts they wore, and in the
mantles pins of white silver."
"Bole and Root are those," quoth he, "the king's two guards, two sons of
Maffer Toll."
THE ROOM OF THE KING'S GUARDSMEN
"I beheld nine men in a room there in front of the same room. Fair
yellow manes upon them: short aprons they wore and spotted capes: they
carried smiting shields.
