The mighty king Had bidden him to speed.

The king admitted him into the presence chamber without delay, and bade him state what he had to say, and to be quick about it.

The king, without more courtship, bade her throw off her mantle, and come to his arms.

The king would bid them farewell in the morning and return to Hagsgate.
