[Then] arose from their rest, ready and valiant,

15 [Gold-bedecked] soldiers, and girded their swords.

The noble knights went now to the door

And seized their swords, [Sigeferth] and Eaha,

And to the other door [Ordlaf and Guthlaf],

And [Hengest] who followed to help the defense.

20 Now [Guthere restrained] Garulf from strife,

Lest fearless at the first of the fight he rush

To the door and daringly endanger his life,

Since now it was stormed by so stalwart a hero.
