While O'Reilly can handle a blade.8.Then fast flashed his weapon around him
It pierced through the breast of a foe
It ran on their bucklers and helmets
It shattered their mail at a blow

Pressed not on the bridge of Finea.9.Come on with your kilts and your claymores
Our sabres have met you before(continues on next page)
