Excerpt from The Heroic Life and Exploits of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer: An Old German Story In times of old there lived, in the Low Countries, a King named Siegmund, who was mighty in power and rich in honour. His castles were strong, and his men-at-arms were brave; he had swords glancing as the fun, and shields of silver white as the moon, festal robes embroidered with gold, precious jewels, noble steeds, and herds of fat cattle. But his greatest and noblest: treasure was a lofty and truly royal mind, for King Siegmund was wife in counsel, brave in battle, and upright in judgement. He listened willingly to the advice of the wife and aged among his people, and was never displeased even if they spoke with rudeness and reproach.
