Behold us here, antagonists. See how
Each angry look is like a poisoned dagger.
A world of difference lies between us now.
The quarrel is: whose share’s to be the bigger.

translated by John Willett

Hoping to keep concealed throughout the fighting
While would-be rulers wrestled in the air
The frightened people look for holes to hide in
And watched their masters battling from down there.
