Z 628 King Arthur I, 5-6: "Woden, first to thee ... To Woden, our defender" [Italian translation]

BASS

Woden, first to thee

A milk-white steed, in battle won,

We have sacrific'd.

CHORUS

We have sacrific'd.

TENOR II

Let our next oblation be

To Thor, thy thund'ring son,

Of such another.

CHORUS

We have sacrific'd.

BASS

A third (of Friesland breed was he)

To Woden's wife, and to Thor's mother;

And now we have aton'd all three.

CHORUS

We have sacrific'd.

TENOR I & II

The white horse neigh'd aloud.

To Woden thanks we render,

To Woden we have vow'd,

To Woden, our defender.

CHORUS

To Woden thanks we render,

To Woden we have vow'd,

To Woden, our defender.
