Deors lament Weyland was a strong man, and he was used to suffering, longing, and "wintry exile." One time, a lesser man, Nithhad, captured him and bound him with tendons. However, Weland overcame that particular hardship, and the narrator will also be able to overcome his struggles. Beadohild had also experienced sorrow in her life, especially when her brothers died. However, she experienced an even higher level of distress when she found out that she was pregnant. She knew that nothing good could come out of that situation. However, Beadohild surmounted this obstacle, and the narrator believes that he can do the same.
