Warriors brave from Denmark fought with matchless daring;

He ne’er should wait their onset who much for his welfare or his life was caring.

Morunc and with him Ortwin boldly held their ground,

And for themselves won honor; nowhere could be found

Men who greater slaughter wrought, with hearts undaunted:

The heroes twain, with their followers, gave full many wounds, with spears well planted.

[874]

Proudly the men from Moorland, as I have heard it said,

When from their ships they landed, the way to the foemen led.
