Hagen said to Hilda: “Elsewhere must we to-day
Find us rest and shelter; while others must not idly
Leave the dead thus lying, who burial scarce can wait, here scattered widely.”

Hettel begged King Hagen with him to his home to go;

That he, the king of the Hegelings, of many lands was owner:
Hagen then with his daughter went with him to his home, and there had honor.
