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.” |
