Then spake King Sigmund the Volsung: “When thou hast heard the tale,
Thou shalt know that somewhat thy brother of his oath to my son did fail;
Nor fell the man all sackless: nor yet need Sigmund's son
For any slain in sword-field to any soul atone.
Yet for the love I bear thee, and because thy love I know,
And because the man was mighty, and far afield would go,
I will lay down a mighty weregild, a heap of the ruddy gold.”

And because the man was mighty, and far afield would go,
I will lay down a mighty weregild, a heap of the ruddy gold.”
