The youths swiftly went | o’er the mountain wet,

On their Hunnish steeds, | death’s vengeance to have.

[13]. On the way they found | the man so wise; [[550]]

. . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .

“What help from the weakling | brown may we have?”

[14]. So answered them | their half-brother then:

“So well may I | my kinsmen aid

As help one foot | from the other has.”

[15]. “How may a foot | its fellow aid,

Or a flesh-grown hand | another help?”
