Won the fight against woe. No wish will he have
For horses or jewels or the joys of mead-drinking,
Nor any earl’s treasures on earth to be found,
O gentle lord’s daughter, if he have joy in thee,
50 As by solemn vows ye have sworn to each other.
I set as a sign [S and R] together,
[E, A, W, and D], as an oath to assure you
That he stays for thee still and stands by his troth;
And as long as he lives it shall last unbroken,—
55 Which often of old with oaths ye have plighted.
