by Arthur S. Way (1847–1930)
When therefore set on the journey was the heart of that king of men, They suffered the eager envoys to ride thence homeward again; And he charged them to say to the brethren of Kriemhild, by Rhine-river side, That Siegfried joyful-hearted would come to their festival-tide. Siegfried the hero and Kriemhild, as telleth the minstrel's tale, So laded with presents the heralds, that their own steeds could not avail To bear all the guerdon homeward, so wealthy a lord was he: So they drove it on sumpter-horses, journeying joyfully.
