To Fru-te this was pleasing, for wise he was, not less than he was daring.

[331]

Those who came from Denmark, when at court, took care

Ever to be blameless for the clothes that they should wear:

’Twas so with the men of Wâ-te, from Sturmland thither faring,

And than himself no sword-knight in any land could show a finer bearing.

[332]

Those who came with Morunc wore mantles over all,

With robes from far Kampalia. Fiery red, as a coal,

Gold and gems that sparkled on their clothes were shining.
