The amethyst night

II
"Sir, did you hear news? -
Rigas said to general, -
Unbelievable, I swear by Zeus!"

"What happened? I don't understand!"
"Oh, sir! Young Churchson
Yesterday came to our tent,

And already has success!
He was servant for five hours,
Then, - oh, gods, - it's a progress!"

"He became a sword-barer?"
"Better! Better, oh my sir!"
"A knight? It becomes less clear!"

"Bless us, our Lord,-
Rigas crossed himself, -
There can be maurous abroad!

But I calm, - our knights, -
I'm not poet and monk, if it's lie! -
Train every day, every night!"

"I want to see him immediately! -
General said, Churchson stayed, -
Churchson! Churchson! Look at me!"

General saw a truly knight, -
Tall, good-looking and confident,-
At his eyes was fire-light.

"How can it be? Miracle! -
General said, - 25 years I fight,
But this is unbelievable!

How did you do that?
You were a young man,
But now you wear confiderate-hat!"

"Sir, - Churchson stayed on knee, -
I betrayed my father, I walked
Here for three years. You see,

I learned many things
I France, Italy and Greece, -
"Salve! Salve!" - I heard from kings.

I want to fight! I want protect
Greek! Women, children and old-men
Would say: "Greek respect!"

"God bless the true, -
General's voice was crying, -
Just what I say to you!"

One soldier came to cabinet, -
"Salve! - said, - there are maurous!"
"What a new!" - "bad, very bad!"
