Horant, the knight from Denmark, his time in lightsome frolic with them passes.

Fru-te and also Wâ-te were knights full brave and bold;
When standing near each other, both alike looked old.

With clubs as well as bucklers; there they strove in sport,
In the sword-play slashing; thrusts of spears they parried;
