Down fell they dead together, Gernot and Rüdiger.
In the war-storm each by other smitten on one doom came;
And Hagen saw, and his anger burst into sudden flame,
And shouted the Hero of Troneg: “Evil hath come upon us!
Such grievous hurt have we suffered by these who have perished thus,
That for two lands and two peoples nor amends nor atonement there is.
To the homeless shall Rüdiger’s heroes now pay forfeit for this!”
(C) No mercy they showed thereafter, no foeman would they spare.
Many a man down-beaten not sorely hurt fell there,
Who might of his wounds have recovered, but overwhelmed by the flood
