The Dane's sword was out first; but I was upon him in time.

His horse swerved as mine plunged forward, and I rode him down, horse and man rolling together in the roadway.

Then the man to my right cut at me, and I parried the blow and returned it.

Then that horse was riderless, and I heard Kolgrim laugh as his man went down with a clatter and howl.
My horse plunged on for a few steps, and then I turned.

Kolgrim had one horse by the bridle, and was catching that which had fallen.
