Gu-drun, now over-wearied, some of her maidens sent

To see if her bed were ready, for she on sleep was bent;

For a night at least her sorrow she could now be leaving.

Then went with them most kindly King Hartmut’s chamberlain, his service giving.

[1325]

Youths of the Norman palace before her bore the light;

On her they ne’er had waited until that very night.

Thirty beds or over now were found made ready;

Nice were they and cleanly, meet for Gu-drun and many a well-born lady.
