Again the Dobrzynskis and the other Lithuanians vied with one

another in pressing forward, and, despite the former

disagreements of the two factions, they fought like brothers,

each urging on his comrade. The Dobrzynskis, seeing how a

Podhajski was prancing before the line of yagers and slashing

them with his scythe, shouted joyfully: "Long live the

Podhajskis! Forward, brother Lithuanians! hurrah! hurrah for

Lithuania!" And the Skolubas, seeing how the valiant Razor,

despite his wound, was dashing on with his sabre raised aloft,

cried: "Hurrah for the Macieks! long live the Masovians!"

Inspiring one another with courage, they ran upon the Muscovites;

in vain Robak and Maciek tried to restrain them.

While they were thus smiting the company of yagers from the

front, the Seneschal abandoned the battlefield and went into the

garden. By his side strode the cautious Protazy, to whom the

Seneschal was quietly issuing orders.
