Quoth Völund: “Would | that well were the sinews
Maimed in my feet | by Nithuth’s men.”
[[265]]
[31]. Laughing Völund | rose aloft,
Weeping Bothvild | went from the isle,
For her lover’s flight | and her father’s wrath.
[32]. Without stood the wife | of Nithuth wise,
And in she came | from the end of the hall;
But he by the wall | in weariness sat:
“Wakest thou, Nithuth, | lord of the Njars?”
