Courage of fury--I, by Hael, care little, My youthful hero, which thine eyeball gleams with, If thou seek vengence, and thine enemy falleth. (HOTHER: Who art thou--who? But speak; proceed; explain thee!) Strong was thine arm, and strong 'gainst Jotun's armour Was Rota's lance, but all too weak 'gainst Balder; And yet he kneel'd; I saw the proud one palen. But ha! he rear'd himself; my heart then fail'd me, For I could best appreciate thy full danger; Raised was his arm; bright appear'd the massive falchion; He called on Odin's name, and then none living Could save thee but himself--the fool! his lofty Courage shall prove his overthrow. (HOTHER: Ha, Vanfred!) Well?
