Thence the blending of water-waves ever upriseth

Wan up to the welkin, whenso the wind stirreth

Weather-storms loathly, until the lift darkens

And weepeth the heavens. Now along the rede wendeth

Of thee again only. Of that earth yet thou know'st not,

The fearful of steads, wherein thou mayst find

That much-sinning wight; seek then if thou dare,

And thee for that feud will I guerdon with fee,

The treasures of old time, as erst did I do,

With the gold all-bewounden, if away thence thou get thee.
