You hear what this knave says?
gpt
Yes, we hear, cried some,
human
Villains! he shouted, with a voice that made the room itself tremble.
gpt
Yes, Sigurd's day has come--the day for teaching cowards like you the duty of a knight and a brother. Ulf, at his bridal, unarmed, slain by traitors' hands. Is that the chivalry ye praise? If so, begone from my sight and reach of this arm! But 'tis no time for talk. Without there, my arms! and saddle my horse!
human
What means this! cried all.
gpt
Where go you, Sigurd?
human
I go to my brother,
gpt
Your brother! Ulf is eight days' sail from here!
human

gpt
It swarms with wolves, Sigurd, and where the wolves are not, the robbers lurk.
human
It is wolves and robbers I go to seek,
gpt

human
No! cried Sigurd.
gpt
I go alone. Let him who loves me remain here and guard my lady. I can trust you to be true to a lady--but ye have yet to learn to be loyal to a prince.
