There was clatter of hoofs | of the steeds in the court,

And the clashing of arms | as they came from the field.

[36]. Out then came Guthrun | to meeting with Atli,

With a golden beaker | as gift to the monarch:

“Thou mayst eat now, chieftain, | within thy dwelling,

Blithely with Guthrun | young beasts fresh slaughtered.”

[37]. The wine-heavy ale-cups | of Atli resounded,

When there in the hall | the Hunnish youths clamored,

And the warriors bearded, | the brave ones, entered.
