Woe On You!

He said, "There are villains in the road, and the Franks are there. I'll fear for you if you go."
What then do you know of me? I went into that thicket where lions wouldn't dare to go. The wind was noisily blowing through the trees. A coars youth was coming and saying to me, "Woe on you!"
I paid no attention to him and did not look at him. He shouted several times, and finally awesomeness settled into me. He had a battle axe that would have crushed a boulder. After that, when he saide once more "Woe on you!" I turned my face toward him.
I had not reached for any weapon, but he fell down on his backside. He motioned with his hand: "I've got no business with you, go!"
