High-borne upon goodly chargers hosts of the Hunfolk were.
In Kriemhild’s train moreover was many a winsome maid,
And warriors full seven thousand in the Queen’s war-band were arrayed.
Amidst of her ladies Kriemhild at the casement sat on high
At Etzel’s side: that pageant well-pleased he saw sweep by.
They would fain see the far-famed heroes ride in the tourney-ring.
What gallant Burgundian barons were in presence of the King!
Now came Burgundia’s marshal bringing the mighty steeds,
And came with Dankwart the valiant to minister unto their needs
The squires of the princes and barons, the lords of Burgundia-land;
