XII.
And then, forspent and worn with heavy strife, Down sank the prince upon his bossy shield, Musing the words of him whose streaming life Made round his carcase huge a crimson field.
When on the wind an anguished crying pealed.
Far borne ; full swiftly then the hero rose And onward pressed in triple daring steeled, Jagged steeps around in narrowing chasm did close And mountains soared above him into gleaming snows.
6o SIEGFRIED'S GLORY XIII.

XIV.
