Iskandar Strikes Down Foor
From D5.15, Iskandar Fights the Army of Foor. It illustrates D5.15.31–37:
- D5.15.31They took their blades and wheeled across the space,To meet each other in that deadly place.
- D5.15.32Foor, elephantine, rode a mountain grand,And bore a mighty dragon in his hand.
- D5.15.33Iskandar marveled, troubled by the strife,And in his heart despaired of his own life.
- D5.15.34They circled still; behind the troops a soundOf shouting rose across the battleground.
- D5.15.35Foor’s heart grew troubled at the sudden shout;His head and eyes and ears all turned about.
- D5.15.36Through dust, like wind, Iskandar charged ahead,And struck the lion, whose red blood he shed.
- D5.15.37His sword struck head and neck beneath the crown,And brought the giant crashing lifeless down.
