There was grace of courtly obeisance through that bright gathering,
Sweet salutations of kisses ’twixt ladies passing fair:
And the men of Gunther and Siegfried glad-hearted watched them there.
Then tarried they there no longer, but on to the city they rode.
And the folk of the Land Burgundian by command of their Lord forthshowed
To their guests their joy of the meeting by knightly courtesies;
And through all the way they jousted to gladden the ladies’ eyes.
Hagen of Troneg and Ortwein made manifest that day
To the eyes of all beholders what stalwart knights were they:
Marshals they were of the tourney, and all men obeyed their behests;
