That Ortrun then was near him Wâ-te became aware:

He his teeth was gnashing, and straight up-stood he there;

Now his eyes were flashing; his yard-wide beard was flowing;

And all were sorely frightened, and feared what the Sturmisch lord would next be doing.

Over him blood was streaming, with it his clothes were wet.

Tho’ Gu-drun was glad to see him, she had liked it better yet

If he, in mood less wrathful, had come for her to greet him;

Such fear they all were feeling, I ween that no one there was glad to meet him.
