Down laid they Him limb-weary -Down laid they him limb-weary, O'er His lifeless Head then stood they O'er his lifeless head then stood they, Heavily gazing at Heaven's . . . heavily gazing at heaven's Chieftain. * Wielder, Lord, Ruler, Monarch, Hero, from Hilde the war god. Battle brave, captain * Anything strown or cast-a missile of any kind.
Every day they fight, and every night the dead are recalled to life, and so it will go on till Ragnarök. In the German poem, Gudrun, the Continental version of this legend occurs in the story of the second Hilde. Her father Hagen pursues, and after a battle with Hettel agrees to a reconciliation. The story is duplicated in the abduction of Hilde's daughter Gudrun, and the battle on the Wülpensand.
