To wind him about more widely away thence,

And flee fenwards; he found then the might of his fingers

In the grip of the fierce one; sorry faring was that

Which he, the harm-scather, had taken to Hart.

The warrior-hall dinn'd now; unto all Danes there waxed,

To the castle-abiders, to each of the keen ones,

To all earls, as an ale-dearth. Now angry were both

Of the fierce mighty warriors, far rang out the hall-house;

Then mickle the wonder it was that the wine-hall

Withstood the two war-deer, nor welter'd to earth
