Clothing, too, was given by his friends as well as kin;
Horses finely saddled many there did win,
Who before not often on such steeds had ridden.
When this was seen by Ortwin, in giving then he would not be outbidden.

He, the king of Ortland finest clothes now gave:
Since then, if better clothing knights did ever have,
Forsooth we cannot tell you,— it never reached our hearing.
He and all his followers stood bereft, erelong, of much that they were wearing.
