Gunther encourages his men (720–724)

When haughty Gunther saw this man had died, he roused 720
His comrades, who were eager to renew the fight:
“Let us attack, give him no chance to catch his breath
Until he loses strength, exhausted; then, tied up,
He will return the treasure and pay for his bloodshed.”
