FOURTH ADVENTURE
([St. I.]) Lachmann's Second Lay begins here, and ends with St. CXXII, Fourth Adventure.
A Skottysshe knight hoved upon te bent,
A wache I dare well saye;
So was he ware on the noble Percy
In the dawnynge of the daye.
English "Battle of Otterbourne."
([St. LXVII.]) In this poem "the Rhine" is used to express the dominion of Gunther, though, strictly speaking, Siegfried was himself from the Rhine, being a native of Xanten. It is remarkable that at St. I, Second Adventure, this last circumstance is stated, and yet at St. XIII and St. XV, Third Adventure, in the conversation between Siegfried and his father, both of whom were then at Xanten, the phrase ze Rîne is used with reference to Gunther's country.
([St. LXIX.]) "slew him many a slain." This phrase is borrowed from Samson Agonistes.
FIFTH ADVENTURE
([St. I.]) Lachmann's Third Lay begins here, and ends with St. LX of this Adventure.
