Above the shields and the harps all round the hall were the painted figures of heroes of fabulous famous songs. ABOVE THE SHIELDS AND THE HARPS ALL ROUND THE HALL WERE THE PAINTED FIGURES OF HEROES OF FABULOUS FAMOUS SONGS
at goes up against a strong place on foot, pleasant indeed is the twang and jolt of some fearful engine of war that his fellow-warriors are working behind him, from which huge rocks go sighing over his head and plunge among his foes; and pleasant to a warrior in the wavering light are the swift commands of his King, and a joy to him are his comrades' instant cheers exulting suddenly at a turn of the war. All this and more was the harp to Camorak's men; for not only would it cheer his warriors on, but many a time would Arleon of the Harp strike wild amazement into opposing hosts by some rapturous prophecy suddenly shouted out while his hand swept over the roaring strings. Moreover, no war was ever declared till Camorak and his men had listened long to the harp, and were elate with the music and mad against peace. Once Arleon, for the sake of a rhyme, had made war upon Estabonn; and an evil king was overthrown, and honour and glory won; from such queer motives does good sometimes accrue. N FOR TO A MAN THAT GOES UP AGAINST A STRONG PLACE ON FOOT PLEASANT INDEED IS THE TWANG AND JOLT OF SOME FEARFUL ENGINE OF WAR THAT HIS FELLOW WARRIORS ARE WORKING BEHIND HIM FROM WHICH HUGE ROCKS GO SIGHING OVER HIS HEAD AND PLUNGE AMONG HIS FOES AND PLEASANT TO A WARRIOR IN THE WAVERING LIGHT ARE THE SWIFT COMMANDS OF HIS KING AND A JOY TO HIM ARE HIS COMRADE'S INSTANT CHEERS EXULTING SUDDENLY AT A TURN OF THE WAR ALL THIS AND MORE WAS THE HARP TO CAMERACK'S MEN FOR NOT ONLY WOULD IT CHEER HIS WARRIORS ON BUT MANY A TIME WOULD ARLEON OF THE HARP STRIKE WILD AMAZEMENT INTO OPPOSING HOSTS BY SOME RAPTUROUS PROPHECY SUDDENLY SHOUTED OUT WHILE HIS HAND SWEPT OVER THE ROARING STRINGS MOREOVER NO WAR WAS EVER DECLARED TILL CAMERACK AND HIS MEN HAD LISTENED LONG TO THE HARP AND WERE ELATE WITH THE MUSIC AND MAD AGAINST PEACE ONCE ALEON FOR THE SAKE OF A RHYME HAD MADE WAR UPON ESTEBAN AND AN EVIL KING WAS OVERTHROWN AND HONOUR AND GLORY WON FROM SUCH QUEER MOTIVES DOES GOOD SOMETIMES ACCRUE
