Harness the horses;
    mount the steeds!
Take your stations with helmets on,
    whet the lances,
    put on coats of mail!
Why do I see them terrified?
    They have fallen back;
their warriors are beaten down
    and have fled in haste.
They do not look back—

    nor can the warrior escape;
in the north by the River Euphrates
    they have stumbled and fallen.(B)
