Now lay dead and wounded; these must they be leaving:

Three thousand men or over were mourned by friends, who tears to each were giving.

[1562]

Now their ships went smoothly, the winds for them were good:

Bearing home their booty they came in happy mood.

How it was done I know not, they sent on men before them

Unto the Hegeling ladies: of what had them befallen they tidings bore them.

[1563]

With all their speed they hastened,— that I well can say,—

And reached at last their kingdom,— I cannot tell the day.
