 Now the knights2 that Bl?del gathered arrayed themselves forthright3.
To the feast-hall they hied them, a thousand in hauberks harnessed for fight,
To the hall where ranged at the tables the squires5 with Dankwart sate6.
Soon brake there forth4 between heroes the deadliest of all hate.
In strode the war-thane Bl?del, and afront of the board stood grim.
But with friendly courtesy Dankwart the Marshal greeted him:
“With welcoming to our mansion7, Lord Bl?del, I hail thee now;
Yet I marvel8 at thy coming. What tidings bringest thou?”
“Thou hast nothing to do to greet me,” sternly Bl?del spake;
“Seeing my coming hither an end of thee shall make,
For that Hagen thy brother murdered Siegfried years agone;
For the deed with heroes many shalt thou to the Huns atone9.”
“Now nay10, my good Lord Bl?del,” peaceably Dankwart replied;
“Sooth, this were a sorry ending for us all unto this high-tide!
But a child was I when Siegfried departed from light and life.
No cause know I why hated I should be of Etzel’s wife.”
“For thee, I know not and care not how the truth of the story lies:
Thy kinsmen11, Hagen and Gunther, did it in any wise.
Defend you, ye doomed12 and homeless! Ye live not another day!
