		+	{\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The crazed prince now is burning with excessive wrath;
		+	\|380
		+	\|-
		+	\|A grieving heart replaces his former cheerfulness.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|From shoulders to the hem he rips his royal robe,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And he directs his saddened mind now here, now there.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And as the sand is stirred up by Aeolus’ winds,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The king is surging inwardly with warring cares.
		+	\|385
		+	\|-
		+	\|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.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|That day, of course, the king rejected food and drink;
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Anxiety stripped soothing quiet from his limbs.
		+	\|390
		+	\|-
		+	\|For when the black night stole the color from all things,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|He slumped into his bed but did not close his eyes,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Reclining now upon his right side, now his left.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|As if his breast were pierced by a sharp-pointed spear,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|He trembles and he shakes his head now here, now there,
		+	\|395
		+	\|-
		+	\|And maddened now he sits bolt upright in his bed.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|It does not help; he rises, wanders through the city.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Returning to his bed, he leaves as soon as he
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Has reached it. Thus Attila spent a sleepless night.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|But through the friendly silence went the fleeing comrades,
		+	\|400
		+	\|-
		+	\|In haste to leave behind them that distrusted land.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The day had scarcely broken when the king addressed
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The gathered nobles, “If someone would bring to me
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|That fleeing Walter, tied up like a dog, soon I
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Would clothe that man in many times resmelted gold,
		+	\|405
		+	\|-
		+	\|On all sides weigh him down where he stands on the ground,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And block his path completely—as I live!—with wealth.”
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|But there was not a noble in so great a land,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|No, neither duke nor count nor knight nor serving man,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|However much he wished to demonstrate his strength
		+	\|410
		+	\|-
		+	\|And by his courage capture everlasting fame
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|And wish as well to stuff his money-bags with treasure,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Who would have dared pursue in arms an angry Walter,
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|Or dared to face that man when he had drawn his sword.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|They knew his courage well, and knew what massive carnage
		+	\|415
		+	\|-
		+	\|That he, unhurt, unwounded, had dealt out as victor.
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|The king could not persuade a single man of them
		+	\|
		+	\|-
		+	\|To wish for treasure offered under these conditions.
