Do you give the horse its strengthor clothe its neck with a flowing mane?20 Do you make it leap like a locust,striking terror with its proud snorting?21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,and charges into the fray.22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;it does not shy away from the sword.23 The quiver rattles against its side,along with the flashing spear and lance.24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’It catches the scent of battle from afar,the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
