[951]

No further will we tell you of how with these it fared,

Or how the cloister-brothers their life together shared.

Now to the tale of Hartmut we ask you all to listen;

How he with many maidens, high-born and fair, unto his land did hasten.

[952]

After the fight was ended, as I have told before,

For many there was sorrow for the bitter wounds they bore:

Many who had fallen on the stormy field lay dying;

Children bereft of fathers bewailed them soon with tears they ne’er were drying.
