What best did avail them, and further moreover

Hero-deeds ’complished. Now is haste most fitting,

That the lord of liegemen we look upon yonder,

And that one carry on journey to death-pyre

Who ring-presents gave us. Not aught of it all

Shall melt with the brave one—there’s a mass of bright jewels,

Gold beyond measure, grewsomely purchased

And ending it all ornament-rings too

Bought with his life; these fire shall devour,

Flame shall cover, no earlman shall wear
