+|{{Comment| '''Non desperavit neque vultus concidit eius''' The comparison between Atilla and Walther as established by intertextuality in vers 1377 (cf. respective comment) faces its crucial shift. Walther is able to overcome his rage, for which he payed with his right hand. Walther manages even to continue the battle (as stated in 1386) and keeps a straight face while Attila fails in the inherently stated ideal of not showing emotions (385-8 "Sic intestinis rex fluctuat undique curis, // Et varium pectus vario simul ore imitatus, // Prodidit exterius, quicquid toleraverat intus, // Iraque sermonem permisit promere nullum." - The king is surging inwardly with warring cares. The changes in his face reflect his changing feelings; Outward, the man betrays his suffering within. His wrath permitted him to speak no words at all.) BK}}
