“Let us on to the court of the Hun-king, and let it there be seen
What deeds shall be done of the Hunfolk to the warriors battle-keen.”
So on to the court went riding that bold Burgundian band,
Bearing themselves right proudly after the wont of their land.
Then many a valiant warrior of the Huns watched eagerly
For the coming of Hagen of Troneg, what manner of man should he be.
Known long since was the story to all folk, how that his hand
Had dealt unto Siegfried the death-stab, to the King of the Nether Land,
Of all stark knights the strongest, the lord of Kriemhild the Queen:
Therefore the expectation of men to behold him was keen.
