Of these came three and sixty; on them did Hartmut look.

Then Gu-drun, the high-born, with lofty breeding spoke:

“Behold, my lord, these maidens! Is it your worth befitting

That they are thus uncared for?” He said: “No more shall they the like be meeting.”

[1301]

Then spake the high-born lady: “Hartmut, for love of me,

I beg that these my maidens, whom here in shame you see,

May have a bath made ready. Let now my word be heeded;

You ought yourself to see them decked in the comely clothes they long have needed.”
