Drawing him by those appeals, and warily noting the right spot to plant his blow, he turned the other edge of his sword to the front, fearing that the thin side of his blade was too frail for his strength, and smote with a piercing stroke through the prince's body.

When Wermund heard it, he said that the sound of his sword "Skrep" had reached his ear for the second time.

Then, when the judges announced that his son had killed both enemies, he burst into tears from excess of joy.

Thus gladness bedewed the cheeks which sorrow could not moisten.
