156

Nay, neither I, so I avenge but thee.

Declare the thing; unfold what thou wouldst say.

We will into the house, as deathward-bound.

Thus much I grasp, but grasp not yet the rest.

We will make moan unto her of our plight.

That she may weep—rejoicing in her heart!

Ah! we shall be in like case then with her!

Thereafter, how shall we strive out the strife?

Hidden beneath these cloaks will we have swords.

But in her thralls' sight how shall she be slain?
