And of the hate we bore you none shall evermore a word be speaking.”
[1638]
“Who is it, say, fair lady, that you for me will choose?
Ere yet my love I give her, life would I rather lose
Than ever that my kinsmen her with scorn were eying;
For me it were far better that I in death upon the field were lying.”
[1639]
“I will give your sister Ortrun, the maid beloved and fair,
To be a wife to my brother, himself to me most dear.
