Well proved he with what gladness by their host were they entertained.
Unto Hagen special greeting, as a friend known long agone,
He gave, and withal unto Volker, Burgundia’s hero-son.
Dankwart withal he greeted; then spake that valiant thane:
“If thou care for us here in thy castle, who then will see to our train,
Unto all the array which hath followed from Worms beyond the Rhine?”
Straightway answered the Margrave: “Put by this fear of thine;
For all thy vassal-companions, and what possessions soe’er
Ye have brought into this my country—steeds, silver, and raiment fair—
I will cause them to have such warding that nought therefrom shall be lost.
