With his high lord the famed e'er he should frame:

Naught melted his mood, naught the loom of his kinsman

Weaken'd in war-tide; that found out the Worm

When they two together had gotten to come.

Now spake out Wiglaf many words rightwise,

And said to his fellows: all sad was his soul:

I remember that while when we gat us the mead,

And whenas we behight to the high lord of us

In the beer-hall, e'en he who gave us these rings,

That we for the war-gear one while would pay,
