Some Saian takes pleasure in my shield, which beside a bush, | One of the tribesmen in Thrace now delights in the shield I discarded |
the fine armour, threw I against my will. | Unwillingly near a bush, for it was perfectly good, |
But I saved myself. What is to me that shield? | But at least I got myself safely out. Why should I care for that shield? |
Let it go. Soon I'll get no worse. | Let it go. Some other time I'll find another no worse. |
