The sea spurted at midnight; the waterspouts pass like mists. God manifests the road to Prince go from the Polovsk land to the Russian land, to his fathers' golden throne.
The twilight dimmed at even-time. go sleeps, go wakes, go in his mind measures the plains from the mighty Don to the little Donts.
[There is] clamour at midnight; Ovlur whistled beyond the stream, summons the prince; Prince go could not understand.
[Ovlur] called out loud; the earth throbbed; the grass rustled. The Polovsk tents began to stir. go the Prince raced like an ermine to the brushwood, like a white duck to the water, cast himself on his swift horse and leapt from it like a swift-footed wolf and fled to the meadow of the Donts, and flew like a hawk in the mists, slaying geese and swans for breakfast, dinner and supper.
When go flew like a hawk, then Vlur fled like a wolf, shaking off himself the cold dew. For they had over-ridden their swift steeds.

Donts [the river] said:--"Prince go, not mean is thy greatness, nor Konk's hatred, nor the joy of the Russian land!
go said:--"Oh Donts! Not mean is thy greatness, thou who swayest the Prince on thy waves, and hast spread out for him [a bed of] green grass by thy silvery banks, clothing him with warm mists beneath the shade of the green tree; thou hast guarded him with a duck on the water, with gulls on the billows, with mallards on the winds.

Gzak speaks to Konk:--"If the hawk is flying to his nest, we two will shoot down the fledgeling with our gilded arrows!"
Konk said to Gzak:--"If the hawk is flying to his nest we will fetter the fledgeling with a maiden fair."
And Gzak said to Konk:--"If we fetter him with a maiden fair, then we shall have neither the fledgeling nor the fair maiden; but the birds will begin to assail us in the Polovsk plains."
