"
Gudrun says, "From love hast thou gained these tidings of him;
but for this cause came I here, to tell thee dreams of mine which
have brought me great grief."
Says Brynhild, "Let not such matters sadden thee: abide with thy
friends who wish thee blithesome, all of them!"
"This I dreamed," said Gudrun, "that we went, a many of us in
company, from the bower, and we saw an exceeding great hart, that
far excelled all other deer ever seen, and the hair of him was
golden; and this deer we were all fain to take, but I alone got
him; and he seemed to me better than all things else; but
sithence thou, Byrnhild, didst shoot and slay my deer even at my
very knees, and such grief was that to me that scarce might I
bear it; and then afterwards thou gavest me a wolf-cub, which
besprinkled me with the blood of my brethren."
Brynhild answers, "I will arede thy dream, even as things shall
come to pass hereafter; for Sigurd shall come to thee, even he
whom I have chosen for my well-beloved; and Grimhild shall give
him mead mingled with hurtful things, which shall cast us all
into mighty strife.
