Arrived was the hour when to hall proceeded Healfdene's son: the king himself would sit to banquet. Ne'er heard I of host in haughtier throng more graciously gathered round giver-of-rings! Bowed then to bench those bearers-of-glory, fain of the feasting. Featly received many a mead-cup the mighty-in-spirit, kinsmen who sat in the sumptuous hall, Hrothgar and Hrothulf.
It would probably have been deemed impossible save by the assistance of the Misericordia, who managed so featly and deftly that those who saw it marvelled at the skill and accurately co-operating force, which nothing but long practice could have made possible.

Then I bethought me of the work I had to do, and prayed that I might be given strength to do it swiftly and featly, that the suffering of my love might not be long.

Hey for bows and bills i' the merry greenwood!"
The lane was a place of enchantment a long, moonlit colonnade adown which beguiling wood nymphs might have footed it featly. The moonshine fell through the arching boughs and made a mosaic of silver light and clear-cut shadow for the unfriendly lovers to walk in. On either side was the hovering gloom of the woods, and around them was a great silence unstirred by wind or murmur.
That is Hagen's counsel, that ye may be found ready, as beseemeth you." Folker and Hagen went and stood before the great minster. They did this, that the queen might be forced to push past them. Right grim was their mood. Then came the king and his beautiful wife. Her body was adorned with rich apparel, and the knights in her train were featly clad.
Seeing that all was over, he slowly advanced, in a very uncertain state of mind as to the character of his reception. De la Zouch was too busily engaged in a scrutiny of his late opponent to notice the arrival of his page, and upon the latter devolved the unpleasant duty of announcing himself. "That was a featly stroke, my lord," he began.
