Today there is no more beautiful flower-garden in all Tannenegg, than that about Dietrich's pretty white house. Within the house all is so fresh and charming from top to bottom, that one who enters it finds it difficult to get away again from its hospitable shelter.
She grasped the hand of her sobbing son, which lay upon hers, and held it tightly clasped; while she whispered softly: "Yes, my Dieterli, pray, pray; if you can pray, all will come right again." She closed her eyes and never spoke again. The hand that held Dietrich's grew cold.
Through such facts as these God speaks. Let man be silent; and look on in fear and trembling, knowing that it was written of old time The wages of sin are death. The Goths wanted to kill Rusticiana. She had sent money to the Roman generals; she had thrown down Dietrich's statues, in revenge for the death of her father and her husband. Totila would not let them touch her.
The counsel was welcome to all, and a mighty din and clang of arms soon arose in the great tilt-yard, while Etzel and Kriemhild looked on. Sixty of Dietrich's knights spurred forward to meet the strangers. They were eager for the onset, had Dietrich allowed it, for goodly men were his. But it irked him when he heard thereof, and forbade them to cross lances with Gunther's warriors.
She said no more about it; but not all Dietrich's efforts were sufficient to chase the shadows from her face that evening, although he exerted himself to be even more amusing than usual. Gertrude observed her silence, as they sat about the table, and looked anxiously at her. When they had separated for the night, Dietrich went into his mother's room to have a talk with her.
The mere rise of this unscrupulous swindler and his still more unscrupulous nephew, Justinian, would have been enough to rouse Dietrich's suspicion, if not fear. Deep and unspeakable must have been the royal Amal's contempt for the man.
Of a truth I see blood spurting through the helmets from the swords." Loudly the chosen knight gan call, so that his voice rang forth as from a bison's horn, until the broad castle resounded with his force. Sir Dietrich's strength was passing great in truth. When Gunther heard this man cry out in the heated strife, he began to heed.
A complexion so peculiar, that one must believe it to be truly reported. His tragic death, and the yet more tragic consequences thereof, will be detailed in the next lecture. I have now to speak to you on the latter end of Dietrich's reign made so sadly famous by the death of Boethius the last Roman philosopher, as he has been called for centuries, and not unjustly.
At this the heroes rode in lordly wise; none it irked what the knight had counseled. The hurtling and the noise waxed loud, as the many men rode into the broad court. Etzel and Kriemhild themselves beheld the scene. To the jousts were come six hundred knights of Dietrich's men to match the strangers, for they would have pastime with the Burgundians.
He dealt Hildebrand such a blow, that men heard Balmung ring, the which bold Hagen had taken from Siegfried, when he slew the knight. Then the old man warded him; in sooth he was brave enow. Dietrich's champion struck with a broad sword, that cut full sore, at the hero of Troneg, but could not wound King Gunther's liegeman. Hagen, however, smote him through his well-wrought hauberk.
