To your men both food and clothing my mother will be giving;
Only bring us the maiden, that I may thank you, long as you are living.”
[1654]
To her then said Lord Herwic: “How can she be clad?
The mighty lord of Karadie a waste of my kingdom made;
There he burned my castles, and of her clothes bereft her.”
Then said the king of Moorland: “Her would I woo, if only a smock were left her.”
[1655]
To bring the maid then Herwic a hundred warriors sent;
He bade his men to hasten when on their way they went.
