And the damosel said:
“Beautiful maid, riding so fast, hast seen my brother Halewyn?”
But Magtelt:
“Go farther, to the Gallows-field, where thou shalt see thy brother in like guise to the sixteen maidens.”
And the damosel rode on.
Farther still on her way, Magtelt saw, through the thick snow falling, a young man of haughty and stiff-necked countenance coming towards her on a roan charger.
And the young man said:
“Beautiful maid, riding so fast, hast seen my brother Halewyn?”
But Magtelt:
“Thy brother is a fair lord, so fair that round him sixteen maidens stand sentinel, unwilling to let him go.”
