Translation
Einige Feinde jenes Herrschers, als wären ihre Augen von den Flammen seiner Macht versengt, verließen Wohnstatt und Reich samt Söhnen und Angehörigen. Von feindlichen Heeren verfolgt, gelangten sie in die Wälder; doch auch dort fanden sie keine Ruhe, denn der Gegner, wie aus dem Schlaf in Berggrotten erwacht, bedrängte sie weiter.
