1422: When Etzel to the Rhineland / had sent his embassy, / The news thereof right swiftly / from land to land did fly: / He greeting gave and bade them, / by messengers right fleet, / To come unto his feasting: / whence many death did meet.
1423: From out the Huns' dominions / the envoys swiftly went / To the Burgundian country; for thither were they sent / Three noble kings to summon, / and eke their chivalry, / To come and visit Etzel: / so rode they speedily.
