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.
