+To Scotland’s realm, with shield and helm, + Across the sea the King will steer. + +As many as sword and helm can bear + With him must sail across the foam; +All of fit age must follow their liege, + Those who are not may tarry at home. + +It was Hacon, Norroway’s King, + Survey’d the gallant band with pride: +“I’m missing one—my Andfindson, + O where does Olaf the stripling bide?” + +Then answer’d him the little footboy, + Not far that stood from the Monarch’s knee: +“Olaf, my Lord, will come on board + As soon as weigh’d the anchors be.” + +Then out they stood from Bergen town, + And out from Bergen’s mole, I trow; +Silk is the sail they spread in the gale, + Painted with blue is the deck below. + +“Now Magnus hear, my son so dear, + At home I tell thee thou must stay: +Aarhus to ward and Bergen to guard, + For the keys of Norroway’s land are they.” + +“Listen all dearest father mine, + Recall thy word I entreat of thee; +To rule rough earls and Norroway churls + Too ignorant far and too young I be.” + +“Then clothe thee straight and clothe thee well, + Since thou wilt follow me, my child: +But much I fear thou can’st not bear + The toss of the sea and its billows wild.” + +So out they stood from Bergen town, + And ’twas at fall of evening grey; +The folk on the shore they griev’d full sore + As that brave armament sail’d away. + +And when they came to Lindeness, + And the mounting billow the sail bespray’d, +In the breeze so fair the ship stood there + As though to the bottom it fast were made. + +Then said the King as he lean’d upon + His trusty faulchion’s hilt of gold: +“I’m here in the dark, is there any clerk + Or layman here can this thing unfold?” + +Then out spoke Nilaus Noderness, + As a glance he flung upon the deep: +“Doom’d men on board, have we my Lord, + The truth from thee I cannot keep.” + +It was our Norroway Hacon then + Thereat so sorely troubled grew: +“I’m missing one, my Andfindson, + Why meets not Olaf his father’s view?” + +Then answer’d him the little footboy, + As apart he stood from the Norway King: +“Beneath the deck lies Olaf sick, + And much I fear he’s suffering.” + +It was Hacon the Norway King + To visit Olaf with speed he goes: +“What cheer, what cheer, my Olaf dear? + Thy state to thy father straight disclose.” + +“I feel no rest within my breast, + Methinks my very heart will rend: +Would God, the King of all, would bring + This horrible night to a speedy end.” + +They watched o’er Olaf Andfindson, + They watched o’er Olaf long nights twain; +And Hacon I say, of Norroway, + By watching thus his death did gain. + +It was Olaf Andfindson, + He yielded up his gentle sprite; +’Twas Hacon grey of Norroway + Before him held the big wax light. + +O then King Hacon distrest he grew, + The stripling’s corse he would not leave: +He pin’d away and sick he lay, + His hoary Counsellors how they grieve. + +“Cheer up,” they said. “We’ve fought and bled, + And almost won these foreign shores; +But if thou now from us should’st go + A sad and dreary fate were ours.” + +“My time is come, I can’t survive; + Write ye my testament, I pray, +When I am gone do ye see done + What with my dying breath I say: + +“My son, King Magnus, I advise + Ever the law of God to heed; +Justice above all things to love, + And well, full well, with him ’twill speed. + +“Priests and widows let him defend, + And his reign, I trow, will not be brief; +The outlaw crew let him pursue, + And hang unpitying every thief. + +“These are the first things I request, + And now I’ll crave another thing; +Ye’ll bury me with my ancestry + In our Lady’s Church as beseems your King.” + +To Bergen’s shore came tidings o’er + Which made the hearts of the dauntless faint: +“Hacon is dead, our regal head, + Relation near to Olaf Saint.” + +In Orkney isle expir’d the King, + On a Thursday morning that befell; +’Twas Pentecost when the King they lost, + The mighty King whom they lov’d so well. + +From high Kirkwall now sail’d they all, + And to Bergen o’er their course they ply; +They laid in grave the Monarch brave, + In the spot where the Monarch wish’d to lie. + +A braver heart ne’er play’d a part, + And never shone in Minstrel’s lay; +No King on earth can vie in worth + With Hacon the Good of Norroway. + + + + +BRAN AND THE BLACK DOG + + +The day we went to the hills to chase + Of dogs we had a brave company; +There heard we the songs of the feather’d race, + The blare of the elk, and the roebuck’s cry. + +In the hills we had no common sport, + With our dogs and our arms many deer we slew; +When at noon we return’d to our silvan court, + We were a well-pleas’d, laughing crew. + +That night the house of the Fenian king + With a band of joyous guests was fill’d; +The manner we sang, whilst we plied the string, + In which the buck and the elk we kill’d. + +The valiant Finn arose next day, + Just as the sun rose above the foam; +And he beheld up the Lairgo way, + A man clad in red with a black dog come. + +I’ll tell ye what was the stranger’s mien: + His complexion was that of the strawberrie; +White as the canach was his skin, + Though black his hair, as black could be. + +He came up with a lofty gait, + Said not for shelter he sought our doors; +And wanted neither drink nor meat, + But would match his dog ’gainst the best of ours. + +We brought ’gainst that of the stranger youth + The very best dogs within our bounds; +But the stranger dog had a desperate tooth, + And quickly despatch’d for us fifty hounds. + +A strange fight this, the great Finn said, + As he turn’d his face towards his clan; +Then his face with rage grey fiery red, + And he struck with his fist his good dog Bran. + +Bran look’d at his master with much surprise, + That his master should strike him surprise he felt— +“I could hew from the shoulder the hand,” Finn cries, + “With which my dog that blow I dealt.” + +Then Bran he shook his collar of gold, + The mountains echoed with his bay; +His terrible eyes like fire-balls roll’d, + And his mind was bent upon canine fray. + +“Take off from his neck the collar of gold, + Not right for him now such a thing to bear; +And a free good fight we shall behold + Betwixt my dog and his black compeer.” + +Now a likeness I’ll draw of my good dog Bran: + His head was cover’d with shaggy hair, +His breast was broad and its colour tan, + His houghs were crook’d, his quarters square. + +Four yellow feet had he I ween, + His sides were black but his belly fair; +A tinge of green on his back was seen, + Of blood-red ears he’d a pointed pair. + +The dogs their noses together placed, + Then their blood was scatter’d on every side; +Desperate the fight, and the fight did last + ’Till the brave black dog in Bran’s gripe died. + +“O sure was I,” did Ossian cry, + From the pillar of the dogs with stern delight, +“There was no dog in the Finn country + Could inflict upon Bran the mortal bite. + +“O Bran was a stag-hound Morong bred, + And possess’d each canine guile and sleight; +There was no dog in leash e’er led + Could consign our dog to the Western height. + +“There’s many a damsel, heavenly bright, + With azure eye and yellow hair, +In the land of the son of King Torc this night + Would be proud with my dog her supper to share.” + +A grave the valiant hero made + For his good black dog in the field’s green breast; +Full fifty dogs the Fenians laid + To the pibroch’s blast in the hill to the west. + +We went to the dwelling of high MacCuol, + With the king to drink, and dice, and throw; +The king was joyous, his hall was full, + Though empty and dark this night I trow. + + * * * * * + + LONDON: + Printed for THOMAS J.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + diff --git a/26803-0.zip b/26803-0.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..739ad6f --- /dev/null +++ b/26803-0.zip diff --git a/26803-h.zip b/26803-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5d99ce0 --- /dev/null +++ b/26803-h.zip diff --git a/26803-h/26803-h.htm b/26803-h/26803-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe8b53d --- /dev/null +++ b/26803-h/26803-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,699 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html + PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=US-ASCII" /> +<title>King Hacon's Death and Bran and the Black Dog</title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + P { margin-top: .75em; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + P.headingsummary { margin-left: 5%;} + H1, H2 { + text-align: center; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + } + H3, H4, H5 { + text-align: left; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + } + BODY{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + table { border-collapse: collapse; } +table {margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;} + td { vertical-align: top; border: 1px solid black;} + td p { margin: 0.2em; } + .blkquot {margin-left: 4em; margin-right: 4em;} /* block indent */ + + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + .pagenum {position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; + color: gray;} + + .citation {vertical-align: super; + font-size: .8em; + text-decoration: none;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> +</head> +<body> +<h2> +<a href="#startoftext">King Hacon's Death and Bran and the Black Dog, by George Borrow</a> +</h2> +<pre> +The Project Gutenberg eBook, King Hacon's Death and Bran and the Black +Dog, by George Borrow, Edited by Thomas J.

ancient time foretold:<br /> +Beneath his hand all Norroway’s land<br /> + Has Hacon brought, the wise and bold.</p> +<p>Full many a warrior summons he<br /> + From all the country far and near;<br /> +To Scotland’s realm, with shield and helm,<br /> + Across the sea the King will steer.</p> +<p>As many as sword and helm can bear<br /> + With him must sail across the foam;<br /> +All of fit age must follow their liege,<br /> + Those who are not may tarry at home.</p> +<p>It was Hacon, Norroway’s King,<br /> + Survey’d the gallant band with pride:<br /> +“I’m missing one—my Andfindson,<br /> + O where does Olaf the stripling bide?”</p> +<p><!-- page 6--><a name="page6"></a><span class="pagenum">p. +6</span>Then answer’d him the little footboy,<br /> + Not far that stood from the Monarch’s knee:<br +/> +“Olaf, my Lord, will come on board<br /> + As soon as weigh’d the anchors be.”</p> +<p>Then out they stood from Bergen town,<br /> + And out from Bergen’s mole, I trow;<br /> +Silk is the sail they spread in the gale,<br /> + Painted with blue is the deck below.</p> +<p>“Now Magnus hear, my son so dear,<br /> + At home I tell thee thou must stay:<br /> +Aarhus to ward and Bergen to guard,<br /> + For the keys of Norroway’s land are +they.”</p> +<p>“Listen all dearest father mine,<br /> + Recall thy word I entreat of thee;<br /> +To rule rough earls and Norroway churls<br /> + Too ignorant far and too young I be.”</p> +<p>“Then clothe thee straight and clothe thee well,<br /> + Since thou wilt follow me, my child:<br /> +But much I fear thou can’st not bear<br /> + The toss of the sea and its billows wild.”</p> +<p><!-- page 7--><a name="page7"></a><span class="pagenum">p. +7</span>So out they stood from Bergen town,<br /> + And ’twas at fall of evening grey;<br /> +The folk on the shore they griev’d full sore<br /> + As that brave armament sail’d away.</p> +<p>And when they came to Lindeness,<br /> + And the mounting billow the sail bespray’d,<br +/> +In the breeze so fair the ship stood there<br /> + As though to the bottom it fast were made.</p> +<p>Then said the King as he lean’d upon<br /> + His trusty faulchion’s hilt of gold:<br /> +“I’m here in the dark, is there any clerk<br /> + Or layman here can this thing unfold?”</p> +<p>Then out spoke Nilaus Noderness,<br /> + As a glance he flung upon the deep:<br /> +“Doom’d men on board, have we my Lord,<br /> + The truth from thee I cannot keep.”</p> +<p>It was our Norroway Hacon then<br /> + Thereat so sorely troubled grew:<br /> +“I’m missing one, my Andfindson,<br /> + Why meets not Olaf his father’s +view?”</p> +<p><!-- page 8--><a name="page8"></a><span class="pagenum">p. +8</span>Then answer’d him the little footboy,<br /> + As apart he stood from the Norway King:<br /> +“Beneath the deck lies Olaf sick,<br /> + And much I fear he’s suffering.”</p> +<p>It was Hacon the Norway King<br /> + To visit Olaf with speed he goes:<br /> +“What cheer, what cheer, my Olaf dear?<br /> + Thy state to thy father straight +disclose.”</p> +<p>“I feel no rest within my breast,<br /> + Methinks my very heart will rend:<br /> +Would God, the King of all, would bring<br /> + This horrible night to a speedy end.”</p> +<p>They watched o’er Olaf Andfindson,<br /> + They watched o’er Olaf long nights twain;<br +/> +And Hacon I say, of Norroway,<br /> + By watching thus his death did gain.</p> +<p>It was Olaf Andfindson,<br /> + He yielded up his gentle sprite;<br /> +’Twas Hacon grey of Norroway<br /> + Before him held the big wax light.</p> +<p><!-- page 9--><a name="page9"></a><span class="pagenum">p. +9</span>O then King Hacon distrest he grew,<br /> + The stripling’s corse he would not leave:<br +/> +He pin’d away and sick he lay,<br /> + His hoary Counsellors how they grieve.</p> +<p>“Cheer up,” they said. “We’ve +fought and bled,<br /> + And almost won these foreign shores;<br /> +But if thou now from us should’st go<br /> + A sad and dreary fate were ours.”</p> +<p>“My time is come, I can’t survive;<br /> + Write ye my testament, I pray,<br /> +When I am gone do ye see done<br /> + What with my dying breath I say:</p> +<p>“My son, King Magnus, I advise<br /> + Ever the law of God to heed;<br /> +Justice above all things to love,<br /> + And well, full well, with him ’twill +speed.</p> +<p>“Priests and widows let him defend,<br /> + And his reign, I trow, will not be brief;<br /> +The outlaw crew let him pursue,<br /> + And hang unpitying every thief.</p> +<p><!-- page 10--><a name="page10"></a><span class="pagenum">p. +10</span>“These are the first things I request,<br /> + And now I’ll crave another thing;<br /> +Ye’ll bury me with my ancestry<br /> + In our Lady’s Church as beseems your +King.”</p> +<p>To Bergen’s shore came tidings o’er<br /> + Which made the hearts of the dauntless faint:<br /> +“Hacon is dead, our regal head,<br /> + Relation near to Olaf Saint.”</p> +<p>In Orkney isle expir’d the King,<br /> + On a Thursday morning that befell;<br /> +’Twas Pentecost when the King they lost,<br /> + The mighty King whom they lov’d so well.</p> +<p>From high Kirkwall now sail’d they all,<br /> + And to Bergen o’er their course they ply;<br +/> +They laid in grave the Monarch brave,<br /> + In the spot where the Monarch wish’d to +lie.</p> +<p>A braver heart ne’er play’d a part,<br /> + And never shone in Minstrel’s lay;<br />

had no common sport,<br /> + With our dogs and our arms many deer we slew;<br /> +When at noon we return’d to our silvan court,<br /> + We were a well-pleas’d, laughing crew.</p> +<p>That night the house of the Fenian king<br /> + With a band of joyous guests was fill’d;<br /> +The manner we sang, whilst we plied the string,<br /> + In which the buck and the elk we kill’d.</p> +<p>The valiant Finn arose next day,<br /> + Just as the sun rose above the foam;<br /> +And he beheld up the Lairgo way,<br /> + A man clad in red with a black dog come.</p> +<p><!-- page 12--><a
