[1]. Within the gates | ere a man shall go,

(Full warily let him watch,)

Full long let him look about him;

For little he knows | where a foe may lurk,

And sit in the seats within.

[2]. Hail to the giver! | a guest has come;

Where shall the stranger sit?

Swift shall he be | who with swords shall try

The proof of his might to make.
