The first in birth among them at the court was kept;

Water she must carry to the room where Ortrun slept:

To wait upon that lady the high-born maid was bidden;

By name was she called Hergart; her lofty birth was nought, she still was chidden.

Among them was another, brought from Galicia’s strand;

The griffin her from Portugal had borne to a far-off land.

She to the Hegeling kingdom with Hagen’s child was carried,

From over Ireland’s borders; now with the maids in the Norman land she tarried.
