Thou thinkest, old Hun, thy thoughts are deep, Thou speakest alluring words, with the spear it would like thee to wound me.
6 THE HILDEBRANDSLIED 40 With untruth art thou come to old age, for trickery clings to thee ever. It was said to me by seafarers Coming west over the wave that war slew him. Dead is Hildebrand, Heribrand's son. " "Great Weirdwielder, woe worth the day! 45 For sixty winters and summers I wander'd, Battling with foemen where blows keen fell. From the scarped wall unscathed I... came. Now the son of my loins with the sword will hew me; He will deal me death or I dash him to earth. 50 But now canst thou strike, if strong be thine arm, Canst win the harness from so hoary a man, And strip the spoils from the stricken foe. " Hadubrand answer'd, Hildebrand's son: " Full well I hold, from thy harness rich, 55 That thou comest hither from a kindly lord, In whose kingdom thou wast not a wandering wretch. " "The heart of a coward would the Hun now have Who would shrink from a foe so fain to fight, To struggle together.
