The hosts came out of the fort
There was such a crowd
Sixteen men died looking
The unbridled their horses
Unleashed their hounds
They hunted seven deer
Seven foxes, seven hares, seven wild bores
Messenger came from the king
A fourth of the house set aside
Sven rows, seven apartments
The house was built of pine
They hung their weapons
‘let the harper's play for us’
The harper's played
Twelve men died of weeping and sorrow
At first the music was sad and mournful
Then it was joyful and happy
Finally it was quiet and peaceful
