When she saw that hero standing safe on the lists’ far side:
“O ye my friends and liegemen, hitherward come straightway!
Ye be all unto this King Gunther vassals from this day.”
Down laid each valiant warrior his weapons from his hand,
And low at the feet they bowed them of the Lord of Burgundia-land;
Yea, unto Gunther the mighty bent many a valiant knight,
For they weened he had won that contest by his own unaided might.
With chivalrous grace and in loving wise he greeted the maid;
And now that Queen of Beauty her hand in his hath laid,
And to him all rule she yielded over all her wide domain.
