The high times now were ended, and all their leave would take.
Then ’twas allowed to Hartmut, as well his worth bespake,
His peace to gain forever; to this Gu-drun had brought him.
Then for their home they started; each happier went than he had erst bethought him.
[1688]
With friendly love, Queen Hilda bade them all farewell;
With her, Gu-drun and Hildeburg went, with kind goodwill,
Far beyond the castle, with all their maids-in-waiting.
There took they leave of Hartmut, when he at last was on his way forth setting.
