When Dietrich noted Hagen's raging mood, quickly the doughty knight and good snatched up his shield. How swiftly Hagen sprang toward him from the steps! Loudly the good sword of Nibelung rang on Dietrich's head. Then wist Dietrich well, that the bold knight was grim of mood. The lord of Berne gan guard him against the fearful blows, for well he knew Hagen, the stately knight.
Thou canst see for thyself, that, if he be set upon, they will all to battle, and poor and rich alike must perish." Said Dietrich also, courteously, "Great queen, say no more. Thy kinsmen have done naught to me that I should defy them to the death. It is little to thine honour that thou wouldst compass the doom of thy kinsmen.
If thou art of opinion that, to paint a sacred history, a man is not obliged to bring all his devotion to bear upon the subject, thou art under a great error, from which our talented young friend Dietrich would be best able to relieve thee." Dietrich, who had just entered, and heard only the last sentiment, took occasion directly to enlarge on this theme.
Gottfried von Viterbo , in the second half of the twelfth century, expresses his difficulties in similar words. All these chroniclers who handed down the historical traditions of Germany were High-Germans, and thus it has happened that in Germany Theodoric the Great became Dietrich, as Strataburgum became Strassburg, or Turicum, Zurich.
Already the youths had commenced battering at the convent doors, when they were summoned by the voice of the Goshawk on horseback. To their confusion they beheld the White Rose herself on his right hand. Chapfallen Dietrich bowed to his sweet mistress. 'We were coming to the rescue, he stammered. A laugh broke from the Goshawk. 'You thought the lady was locked up in the ghostly larder; eh!
"Well, it means this I should say fortune is whatever anyone wants the most." "Fortune is a horse, then," said Dietrich quickly. Veronica sat thinking. "But, Cousin Judith," she said presently, "how can any one 'grasp fortune'?"
'Unhappy villain that I am! replied Dietrich, gesticulating fox-like refusal; 'if I but accept a favour, I break faith with the Club. 'Break it to pleasure me, said Margarita, smiling wickedly. Dietrich gasped. He stood on tiptoe to see if any of the Club were by, and half-stretched out his hand. A mocking laugh caused him to draw it back as if stung. The grapes fell.
He ran faster than before, and the second fellow ran too. The last one paused a little; it was Blasi. He said hastily: "He isn't coming yet awhile. You can go to bed;" and was making off. "Oh do tell me what has happened," said Gertrude, white with terror. "Don't leave me so, but tell me, Blasi, why Dietrich hasn't come home with the rest of you?"
Brunhild survives, and is prevailed upon by her vassals to have her son crowned. Etzel, after parting with Dietrich, loses his mind; according to another version, his fate remains altogether uncertain. Dietelint, the young margravine, is taken under Dietrichs protection, who promises to find her a husband.
The Doge and the Patriarch have also seen my picture. Herewith let me commend myself to you as your servant. I must really go to sleep as it is striking the seventh hour of the night, and I have already written to the Prior of the Augustines, to my father-in-law, to Mistress Dietrich, and to my wife, and they are all downright whole sheets full.
