The sun with dust was darkened, now from the struggle rising:

Their strength was unabated; still for good name they fought, that both were prizing.

[1469]

What helped it that of Wâ-te men said he was as strong

As six and twenty warriors? Though this was on each tongue,

Yet still to him young Hartmut his knightly skill was showing:

Howe’er his foe was striving, the Norman lord and his men no less were doing.

[1470]

A knight he was most truly, and well indeed he fought;

Of the dead there lay a mountain whom on the field he smote.
