Not kindly at all entrance permitted

Within under earth-wall. Hastily seized I

And held in my hands a huge-weighing burden

Of hoard-treasures costly, hither out bare them

To my liegelord belovèd: life was yet in him,

And consciousness also; the old one discoursed then

Much and mournfully, commanded to greet you,

Bade that remembering the deeds of your friend-lord

Ye build on the fire-hill of corpses a lofty

Burial-barrow, broad and far-famous,
