After what has chanced, not for all the wealth in Denmark would I take Iduna the Fair to be my wife.

Let her stay with Steinar, whom she has chosen.

Still, I do not wish to cause the blood of innocent men to be spent because of my private wrong.

Neither do I wish to wreak vengeance upon Steinar, who for many years was my brother, and who has been led away by a woman, as may chance to any one of us and has chanced to many.

Therefore I say that my father should accept Athalbrand's fine in satisfaction of the insult to our House, and let all this matter be forgotten.
