Hurt I should be or imperilled, although she be wedded to him.”
“Never will I approve it!” made answer Hagen the grim.
Then the King bade summon Gernot to his presence and Giselher,
And he asked of these two princes if good in their eyes it were
That the Lady Kriemhild be wedded to the mighty Lord of the Hun:
And of these, save Hagen only, there spake against it none.
Then answered the Prince Burgundian, Giselher the knight:
“Now surely shouldst thou, friend Hagen, deal by her according to right.
Make good unto her that sorrow thou hast brought upon her ere now.
Whatsoever shall be for her profit, ungrudging suffer thou.
