Oh, have pity on her,
And assist her with her task.”
And again Lineik answered—
“Hast thou forgotten, oh brother,
Brunhild’s wicked deeds,
And how she used all endeavours
To kill both you and me?”
Nevertheless, after a while she again consented to help Laufey, and leaving her tree she sat down beside her, cut out and made up the red tunic, devoting even more care and skill than on the first one. All the seams were embroidered in gold thread, and precious stones bordered the neck and skirt.
When it was ready she gave it to Laufey, while she herself slipped back into her tree.
Prince Tellus was greatly pleased when he saw the second tunic.
