Whate’er was said by Hildeburg, Gu-drun the clothes then took,

That Gerlind her had given; her task she would not brook,

But far into the billows she threw them, strongly hurling:

I know not if ever she found them; they soon were lost to sight, in the waters swirling.

[1273]

The night was drawing nearer, and the light began to wane;

To the castle, heavy-laden, went Hildeburg again.

Seven robes of finest linen she bore, with other clothing;

Gu-drun, young Ortwin’s sister, with Hildeburg went also, bearing nothing.
