With the gifts he gave them, when glory they conquered;

And to Eofor then gave he his one only daughter,

The honor of home, as an earnest of favor.

That’s the feud and hatred—as ween I ’twill happen—

The anger of earthmen, that earls of the Swedemen

Will visit on us, when they hear that our leader

Lifeless is lying, he who longtime protected

His hoard and kingdom ’gainst hating assailers,

Who on the fall of the heroes defended of yore

The deed-mighty Scyldings,[4] did for the troopers
