Hettel and Queen Hilda had now to the window come:
Men they saw with Herwic, brought from a far-off home
Among the hills of Galeis, where they had their dwelling;
These the mighty Morunc in Waleis knew, and oft of them was telling.

The foes were seen by Hettel, thronging towards the gate.
Well Gu-drun’s brave father must fear to meet their hate,
As they were rushing onward, tho’ high his heart was swelling:
Much they roused his anger, but them his burghers helped erelong in quelling.
