Sweat, and the blood which flows down with it, dim their eyes, so that they can hardly see a thing; and very often they missed their blows, like men who did not see to wield their swords upon each other. SWEAT AND THE BLOOD WHICH FLOWS DOWN WITH IT DIM THEIR EYES SO THAT THEY HARDLY SEE A THING AND VERY OFTEN THEY MISSED THEIR BLOWS LIKE MEN WHO DID NOT SEE TO WIELD THEIR SWORDS UPON EACH OTHER
as quickly as he could, draws back his lance, and both rushing together, return to the fray. One against the other rides, and so fiercely they smite each other that both lances break and the horses fall beneath them. But they, being seated on their steeds, sustain no harm; so they quickly rise, for they were strong and lithe. They stand on foot in the middle of the garden, and straightway attack each other with their green swords of German steel, and deal great wicked blows upon their bright and gleaming helmets, so that they hew them into bits, and their eyes shoot out flame. No greater efforts can be made than those they make in striving and toiling to injure and wound each other. Both fiercely smite with the gilded pommel and the cutting edge. Such havoc did they inflict upon each other's teeth, cheeks, nose, hands, arms, and the rest, upon temples, neck, and throat that their bones all ache. They are very sore and very tired; yet they do not desist, but rather only strive the more. EITHER LANCE CRACKED EACH ONE AS QUICKLY AS HE COULD DRAWS BACK HIS LANCE AND BOTH RUSHING TOGETHER RETURN TO THE FRAY ONE AGAINST THE OTHER RIDES AND SO FIERCELY THEY SMITE EACH OTHER THAT BOTH LANCES BREAK AND THE HORSES FALL BENEATH THEM BUT THEY BEING SEATED ON THEIR STEEDS SUSTAIN NO HARM SO THEY QUICKLY RISE FOR THEY WERE STRONG AND LITHE THEY STAND ON FOOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN AND STRAIGHTWAY ATTACK EACH OTHER WITH THEIR GREEN SWORDS OF GERMAN STEEL AND DEAL GREAT WICKED BLOWS UPON THEIR BRIGHT AND GLEAMING HELMETS SO THAT THEY HEW THEM INTO BITS AND THEIR EYES SHOOT OUT FLAME NO GREATER EFFORTS CAN BE MADE THAN THOSE THEY MAKE IN STRIVING AND TOILING TO INJURE AND WOUND EACH OTHER BOTH FIERCELY SMITE WITH THE GILDED POMMEL AND THE CUTTING EDGE SUCH HAVOC DID THEY INFLICT UPON EACH OTHER'S TEETH CHEEKS NOSE HANDS ARMS AND THE REST UPON TEMPLES NECK AND THROAT THAT THEIR BONES ALL ACHE THEY ARE VERY SORE AND VERY TIRED YET THEY DO NOT DESIST BUT RATHER ONLY STRIVE THE MORE
