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

[355]

Fru-te and also Wâ-te were knights full brave and bold;

When standing near each other, both alike looked old.

Their locks were gray and hoary, and with gold were twisted;

But where the bold were needed, to show their bravery earnestly they listed.

[356]

The followers of King Hagen wore their shields at court,

With clubs as well as bucklers; there they strove in sport,

In the sword-play slashing; thrusts of spears they parried;
