On all sides, I surrounded her
And let forth such a siege
That left my castle empty.
Swords of steel hit solid rock,
Arrows shot well short of their mark,
Without catapult or ram to batter,
Luckless fools my soldier-words.
A vain attempt at attrition
With all my forces engaged,
Her spies—her eyes—snuck through,
Reached my castle
And set it ablaze.
