“The Moorland king is bringing full twenty thousand men,

Knights as strong and daring as any I have seen;

To win from us great honor methinks they now are craving.

There comes another banner, that o’er yet other knights its folds is waving.

[1370]

“It is the flag of Horant, the knight from the Danish land;

I see with him Lord Fru-te, I know both him and his band.

And hither, too, from Waleis, many foemen leading,

Morunc now comes riding; he, for the morning’s fight, o’er the sands is speeding.

[1371]
