A bison he smote thereafter; a huge elk low hath he laid;

Four urochs strong, and a great stag, a giant of the glade.

So swiftly his good horse bare him, there was nought that his speed outsped.

Harts and hinds uncounted beneath his wood-spear bled.

And now, uproused by the sleuth-hound, a wild boar burst from his lair:

Even as to flight he turned him, behold, before him there

Was the fleet-foot Lord of the Woodland, and Siegfried barred his path.

Then charged on the gallant hero the monster foaming in wrath;

But the sword of the lord of Kriemhild with a swift thrust laid him low:

None other hunter living so featly had dealt the blow.
