And still did the knights of the Margrave heedfully guarding them go,
Till far off riding to meet them was a host of the Hunfolk seen.
Ha, then was fulness of honour rendered unto the Queen!
On the Traisem’s bank did a castle of the Lord of the Hunfolk stand,
A passing-stately fortress, well known through all the land;
And the same hight Traisenmauer: there Helka dwelt of old,
A lady beyond all other exceeding bounteous-souled,
Except that other were Kriemhild, for her bounty withal was free.
Well might she be henceforth happy after all her misery,
For all the people of Etzel her kindness extolled and her grace;
