Without a battle!"
"Battle there may be:
I must refuse no labor, all the same."
"Certainly, either having slain a foe
Wilt thou return to us, or, slain thyself,
Stay there!"
"And, even if the game be so,
The risk in it were not the first I run."
"But, say thou overpower the lord o' the place,
What more advantage dost expect thereby?"
