Gu-drun was heavy-hearted as they went on board the boat;

She said: “Woe worth my wanderings! my sorrow endeth not.

He whom once I trusted, must hope in him be shaken

That he will break my bondage? My bliss is yet far off, and my faith mistaken.”

[1263]

In haste the daring warriors turned from the shore away.

Gu-drun, the maid, heart-broken, to Herwic called to stay:

“Of me you once thought highly, but now you hold me lightly:

To whom, in my woe, do you leave me? Bereft of kin, to whom can I trust me rightly?”
