The high-born knight then answered: “To lie you have no need.

If true indeed were your tidings, well should you be feed;

By me would three great castles and a hide of land be given,

With sixty golden arm-bands; while bliss thenceforth my days should long enliven.”

The fee should I be sharing. At court they wish for you;

Gu-drun, the maid, has said it. To love you she is ready;

And if in truth you wish it, she in your land will be your queen and lady.”
