Then the bright-shining sun o’er the bottoms came going;[2]

The warriors hastened, the heads of the peoples

Were ready to go again to their peoples,

The high-mooded farer would faraway thenceward

Look for his vessel. The valiant one bade then,[3]

Offspring of Ecglaf, off to bear Hrunting,

To take his weapon, his well-beloved iron;

He him thanked for the gift, saying good he accounted

The war-friend and mighty, nor chid he with words then

The blade of the brand: ’twas a brave-mooded hero.
