"And now hearken to my dream; for therein methought there fell in
upon us here a river exceeding strong, and brake up the timbers
of the hall."
He answered, "Full oft are ye evil of mind, ye women, but for me,
I was not made in such wise as to meet men with evil who deserve
no evil; belike he will give us good welcome."
She answered, "Well, the thing must ye yourselves prove, but no
friendship follows this bidding: -- but yet again I dreamed that
another river fell in here with a great and grimly rush, and tore
up the dais of the hall, and brake the legs of both you brethren;
surely that betokeneth somewhat."
He answers, "Meadows along our way, whereas thou didst dream of
the river; for when we go through the meadows, plentifully doth
the seeds of the hay hang about our legs."
"Again I dreamed," she says, "that thy cloak was afire, and that
the flame blazed up above the hall."
Says he, "Well, I wot what that shall betoken; here lieth my
fair-dyed raiment, and it shall burn and blaze, whereas thou
dreamedst of the cloak.
