All the pyres of the frontiers men
were put out from the seas
to the islands all along
the narrows and mountain tops
they were put out one after
the other: pyres, guards and
messengers, dragons war
criers, sleepless lighthouses
and the hands are sitting idle
all the eyes have been shut
the last pyre was put out
by your command oh great king!
The victorious emperors
the flying Tzimiskes and
the killers of centaurs and of
the Bulgarians vanished
and behold timid masters
female, lazy and slow,
great revellers of the circus
gay shepherds of the temples.
