The sons of Westmar and Koll, being ungrown in years and bold in spirit, let their courage become recklessness and devoted their guilt-stained minds to foul and degraded orgies.
Their behaviour was so outrageous and uncontrollable that they ravished other men's brides and daughters, and seemed to have outlawed chastity and banished it to the stews.

Nay, they defiled the couches of matrons, and did not even refrain from the bed of virgins.

A man's own chamber was no safety to him: there was scarce a spot in the land but bore traces of their lust.

Husbands were vexed with fear, and wives with insult to their persons: and to these wrongs folk bowed.

No ties were respected, and forced embraces became a common thing.
