+NIELS EBBESEN.
+
+
+All his men the Count collects,
+ And from Slesvig marched away;
+Never such as host was seen
+ Or before or since that day.
+
+Into Denmark marched the Count,
+ Followed by so fair a band;
+Banners twenty-four they bore,
+ Power like theirs might none withstand.
+
+Gert the Count to Randers rode,
+ To bad counsel lending ear;
+For from old it stood foretold,
+ He should end there his career.
+
+He would not the place avoid,
+ But seemed bent to tempt his fate;
+Of the rural lords and thanes
+ He the quarters up will beat.
+
+Knights and freeborn men apart,
+ There trooped eighteen thousand bows;
+Forty thousand made they all,
+ Who could such a host oppose?
+
+To Niels Ebbesen the Count
+ Word to appear before him sent;
+And safe convoy him he gave,
+ Which should doubt and fear prevent.
+
+Gert the Count met Ebbesen
+ North of Randers by the sea:
+“Welcome be, Niels Ebbesen!
+ Say how matters stand with thee.”
+
+To Niels stretched the Count his hand,
+ And to parleying straight they go;
+There was little then of jest,
+ And of dallying less, I trow.
+
+“Sir Niels Ebbesen, thou art
+ Welcome as the flowers in spring;
+How stand minds in North Jutland,
+ Thence what tidings dost thou bring?
+
+“Say how all thy wealthy friends
+ And thy heart’s loved lady are;
+Which dost wish for at my hands,
+ Smiling peace, or bloody war?”
+
+“Well stand minds in North Jutland,
+ Each man’s courage there’s erect;
+Say, dost come as friend or foe?
+ What from thee may we expect?
+
+“I have kindred in the North,
+ Men of wealth and noble race;
+Shouldst thou it require of them
+ They’ll be ready for thy Grace.”
+
+“Wise art thou, Niels Ebbesen,
+ And thy prudence none can doubt;
+When thou canst not straightway hit
+ Widely then thou ridst about.
+
+“Hear thou, Sir Niels Ebbesen,
+ Thou must on mine errand ride;
+Say, how many men thou hast
+ Brought, on whom thou mayst confide?”
+
+“Kindred, Sir, I have, and friends,
+ ’Mongst the hardy Jutlanders;
+Willingly they follow me
+ To the stormy strife of spears.
+
+“I have brought, such as they are,
+ With me thirty mounted men;
+Be they fewer, or be they more,
+ Dear are they to Ebbesen.”
+
+“Hast thou with thee thirty lads?
+ That seems but a scanty force;
+Yester e’en at Sir Bugge’s Gate
+ Stood’st thou with a hundred horse.”
+
+Backward Ebbesen recoiled,
+ And with high flushed cheek replied:
+“He nor knight nor gentleman
+ Is, who me hath thus belied.
+
+“Be it man or woman who
+ To my face dares that to say,
+Till I’ve answered suitably,
+ Ne’er from him I’ll flinch away.”
+
+“Hear thou, dear Niels Ebbesen,
+ We thereof will talk no more;
+To thy friend Sir Bugge ride,
+ Him to serve me true win o’er.”
+
+“If your errand I shall do,
+ And to Bugge bold repair,
+From thy part what I’m to say
+ First to me thou must declare.”
+
+“Bugge bold has me defied,
+ Young Poul Glob has done the same;
+Anders Frost makes one of them,
+ Him your Chief ’tis said ye name.
+
+“And e’en thou, Niels Ebbesen,
+ Certain courtiers hast with thee,
+Who have eaten of my bread,
+ And have basely quitted me.
+
+“First there is young Eske Frost,
+ And his stalwart brothers two;
+Without leave of mine obtained,
+ From my service they withdrew.
+
+“More there are whom I’ve obliged,
+ And who pay me now no heed;
+If to Bugge’s rede you list
+ Soon ye’ll see how you will speed.”
+
+“Nought of Bugge’s rede I know,
+ What he’ll do or leave undone;
+Eske thy true servant was,
+ Cast no blame that knight upon.
+
+“Eske Frost’s a gallant man,
+ Guards his honour like his eye;
+Sought he his discharge to gain,
+ Why to him didst it deny?
+
+“Custom ’tis in Danish land,
+ And has been from days of eld,
+That the man who will not serve
+ Shall not be to serve compell’d.
+
+“No two things, save Monk and cowl,
+ Are for aye together tied;
+As they loathe or like their place
+ Courtmen ride away or bide.”
+
+It was Count Sir Gert, could not
+ Such like reasoning understand:
+“No one ought to quit his lord
+ Whilst that lord would him command.
+
+“And, Sir Niels, too long thou hast
+ Here stood idly chattering;
+Either thou shalt Denmark quit,
+ Or thou shalt on gallows swing.
+
+“’Neath safe convoy since thou’rt come
+ Thou shalt go withouten hurt;
+To thy cost else thou should’st learn
+ What it is to anger Gert.”
+
+“I thy princely passport hold,
+ Whether it avail or not;
+If thou do me aught of harm,
+ Infamy thy name will blot.
+
+“Thieves mayst thou on gallows hang,
+ To be torn by carn and crow;
+For thy threat from native land,
+ Wife, and child, I will not go.
+
+“But if me from native land
+ And my wife and babes you chase,
+Thou shalt soon, for certainty,
+ Rue thou e’er hast seen my face!”
+
+“Ride away, Sir Ebbesen,
+ Quickly hence thyself betake,
+Or I will, as well I can,
+ On thy skull the helmet break.”
+
+“None e’er saw me so adread
+ But that I could tremble still, {12}
+Hear, Count Gert! look to thyself,
+ Guard thee from approaching ill.”
+
+“Ebbesen, thou tirest me,
+ Suffering thus thy tongue to run;
+Till to-morrow thou art safe,
+ Even till the set of sun.
+
+“This, and the next day till eve,
+ Thou for me shalt be at rest;
+But no belted knight am I
+ If I be not soon thy guest.”
+
+Swift away rode Ebbesen,
+ Shook his iron-gloved fist in air:
+“That I soon shall come again,
+ Good Sir Count, in memory bear.”
+
+Forward rode Niels Ebbesen,
+ Spurred his steed till blood outflew;
+With his men the Count remained,
+ No one dared the knight pursue.
+
+Till he reached his Castellaye,
+ Still he rode withouten rest;
+To his dear Dame he complained,
+ Begged of her her counsel best.
+
+“Here thou sitt’st, dear Housewife mine,
+ What advice canst thou bestow?
+Gert will drive me from the land,
+ Hath declared himself my foe.
+
+“To my choice three things he put,
+ Least of all I liked the third;
+I should join him, or the land
+ Quit, or hang, such was his word.”
+
+“Ah! what counsel can I give
+ From my simple woman’s mind?
+The most desperate counsel’s best,
+ Can we but that counsel find.
+
+“The most desperate counsel’s best,
+ If we can but it discover;
+Either slay the tyrant, or
+ Burn the house the tyrant over.
+
+“To the smithy lead your steeds,
+ Let them all be shod anew;
+Turn ye all the heels afore,
+ Thus your trace will cheat the view.
+
+“Turn ye all the heels afore,
+ Track ye thus, I ween, can no man;
+Never tell to mortal wight,
+ Thou hast learnt this from a woman.”
+
+“Here my gallant swains ye sit,
+ Merry-making o’er your drink;
+Every lad who loves his lord
+ From his lord now must not shrink.”
+
+Up then rose the Courtmen bold,
+ To take on anew agreed;
+Save Sir Niels’ sister’s son,
+ From his uncle would recede.
+
+Swore the knights a solemn oath
+ That for him their lives they’d stake,
+And with him would dauntless ride
+ Wheresoe’er a fray he’d make.
+
+So they rode to Fruerlund,
+ From their steeds they there dismount;
+Into Randers then they walked,
+ To beat up the hairless Count.
+
+It was Sir Niels Ebbesen,
+ To the bridge of Randers came:
+“He who’s loath to follow me
+ Straightway his discharge may claim.”
+
+Forward stepped the tiny Frost,
+ Thought the truest of the true:
+“Give me my dismissal, Sir,
+ Give me horse and saddle too.”
+
+So he sought and got discharge,
+ Saddle got and steed withall;
+But he served his master best
+ That same day ere evening fall.
+
+To the Count’s door rode Sir Niels,
+ Ne’er from that withdrew his look;
+Thrice thereon with iron lance
+ Heavily the hero strook.
+
+“Rise up from thy sleep, my lord!
+ Let me in right speedily;
+Thy dear brother, Henrik Count,
+ Has dispatched me unto thee.”
+
+“By my brother if thou’rt sent,
+ Rest thee from thy journey long;
+Me to-morrow in the Kirk
+ Meet ’twixt mass and matin song.”
+
+“Let your page but at the door
+ Take from me the entrusted scroll;
+Ribe hard invested is,
+ Colding town is burnt to coal.
+
+“Ribe hard invested is,
+ Colding’s burnt, and Vedel’s flung
+Open to our troops its gate,
+ And Niels Ebbesen is hung.”
+
+“If what thou hast told be truth,
+ News it is to make one gay;
+Thou shalt in respect be held
+ Herald till thy dying day.
+
+“Page! no more keep fast the door,
+ Let me on the herald gaze;
+For that we the land have won
+ Is the sum of what he says.”
+
+To the window went the Count,
+ Thence his eye the lances caught:
+“Ha! Niels Ebbesen’s at hand,
+ Curse the hour I Denmark sought.”
+
+Fierce with shields the doors they banged,
+ Burst the locks with frequent blow:
+“Hairless Count! art thou within?
+ Hairless Count, we pledge thee now!”
+
+“Set thee down, Niels Ebbesen,
+ We shall things accommodate;
+Let us send to Henrik Count,
+ And Claus Krummedige straight.”
+
+“Not so yesterday didst thou
+ Speak, Sir Count, by Randers strand;
+Then thou saidst that I should hang,
+ Or should quit my native land.”
+
+Up and spoke the Count’s footpage,
+ Kinsman he to Ebbesen:
+“By his words if ye be fooled
+ Lost art thou and all thy men.”
+
+Up and spoke the black young page,
+ Black because he was not white:
+“Straight desist from useless talk,
+ Let, I rede, your faulchions bite.”
+
+“I’ve no castles, Sir, which can
+ Such a prisoner long contain;
+Now, ye men, spare not your swords!
+ Hew at him with might and main!”
+
+So the tyrant Count they took,
+ Made him kneel upon the floor;
+And his bald head off they hewed,
+ Hewed it off the bedstead o’er.
+
+Soon as they the Count had slain,
+ Loud the drums the alarum beat;
+It was Sir Niels Ebbesen
+ From the town would fain retreat.
+
+From the town he hasted then,
+ Dared no longer there to stay;
+Soon met him Sir Ove Hals,
+ And essayed to bar his way.
+
+“Do thou hear, Sir Ove Hals!
+ Do to me no injury!
+Thou my faithful cousin art,
+ Prythee, Ove, let me flee.”
+
+“Our affinity I know
+ Well I know its near degree;
+But my Lord you’ve foully slain,
+ Niels! I will not let thee flee.”
+
+Bleat the sheep, the ganders hiss,
+ Crows the cock upon the wall;
+Ove Hals was sore beset,
+ Must to the Holsteiners call.
+
+’Gainst the Danes he could not stand,
+ Must to the Holsteiners call;
+“Murdered is your liege the Count
+ Up, and on his butchers fall!”
+
+Fight Sir Ove and Sir Niels,
+ Ebbesen he would not fly,
+He Sir Ove’s head smote off,
+ Left the corse in blood to lie.
+
+Ebbesen to Randers bridge
+ Came, there grew the combat hot,
+There he found the tiny Frost
+ Who had late dismissal got.
+
+Niels sped over Randers bridge,
+ Holstein’s men came thronging after;
+What did then the tiny Frost
+ But the bridge drop in the water.
+
+Thanks to Niels’s sister’s son,
+ Well he served his uncle then;
+In the firth the planks he cast,
+ No bridge found the Holstein men.
+
+Niels a widow visited,
+ She’d but barley bannocks two,
+One she gave to Niels, because
+ He the hairless tyrant slew.
+
+Ebbesen! God sain thy soul,
+ Never was a braver Dane;
+Thou didst free thy fatherland
+ From a foreign tyrant’s chain.
+
+Christ bless every gallant man,
+ Who shall both with mouth and hand,
+In the time of its distress,
+ Seek to serve his fatherland!
+
+
+
+
+GERMAND GLADENSWAYNE
+
+
+Our King and Queen sat o’er the board
+ In high festivity;
+Between them there was much discourse
+ About the briny sea.
+
+Our gallant King and youthful Queen
+ They sailed across the foam;
+Much better had it been for both
+ That they had stayed at home.
+
+But barely they a mile had gone
+ When still the vessel stood,
+There came a raven wild, who strove,
+ To sink them in the flood.
+
+“If any thing the ship doth hold
+ Concealed beneath the main,
+I’ll give thee, bird, a lump of gold
+ To set it free again.
+
+“O do not sink us in the sea,
+ Swart bird,” exclaimed the Queen,
+“And I’ll give thee a lump of gold
+ Weighs Bismer pounds fifteen.”
+
+“Gold and silver I heed them not,
+ I crave another fee,
+The treasure neath thy girdle fair
+ Thou now must promise me.
+
+“Plenty of gold I have myself,
+ From gold no help you’ll find,
+On what beneath your girdle’s hid
+ I’ve firmly set my mind.”
+
+“I give what neath my girdle’s hid,
+ My bunch of keys—what more?
+I’ll speedily have others forged
+ If I but win to shore.”
+
+Then straight she took the little keys
+ And cast them overboard;
+Away then flew the Raven, glad
+ He had obtained her word.
+
+The Queen walks on the yellow sand,
+ Then o’er her came a gloom,
+She felt that Germand Gladenswayne
+ Was quick within her womb.
+
+And from that day when five short months
+ Her head had flitted o’er,
+The Queen she went to the chamber high,
+ And a lovely son she bore.
+
+Born was he in the evening hour,
+ They christened him at night;
+They called him Germand Gladenswayne,
+ Concealed him whilst they might.
+
+They fostered him a winter’s space,
+ They fostered him for nine;
+The fairest youth he grew on whom
+ The sun did ever shine.
+
+So well he throve, so well he grew,
+ His horse he well could ride,
+Whene’er his mother on him gazed
+ So woefully she sigh’d.
+
+“Now list to me, my mother dear,
+ One thing I fain would know;
+Why dost thou sigh so piteously
+ Whene’er I past thee go?”
+
+“Now hear thou, Germand Gladenswayne,
+ I’ve cause to be forlorn;
+Beguiled I gave thee to a fiend
+ Before thou yet wast born.”
+
+“And do thou hear, my mother dear,
+ All sorrow cast aside:
+Whatever be the will of God
+ By that I must abide.”
+
+It chanced upon a harvest morn
+ The breezes scarcely stirr’d,
+That as the chamber door stood ope
+ So wild a yell was heard.
+
+In came the laidly bird of prey,
+ And stood the Queen before:
+“Dost thou remember, gracious Queen,
+ Thy gift to me of yore?”
+
+She swore by God, and by the saints,
+ By all that’s good she swore,
+That son nor daughter in the world
+ She never, never bore.
+
+Then flew away the bird of prey,
+ With an eldritch shriek he’s flown:
+“Whene’er I meet Germand Gladenswayne
+ I’ll remember he’s my own.”
+
+When Germand fifteen years had reached
+ He’d fain a damsel wed;
+He loved the daughter of England’s king,
+ The angel-lovely maid.
+
+His longing to be with his plighted maid
+ He might no more withstand:
+“O how shall I come across the foam
+ To the flood-encircled land?”
+
+It was Germand Gladenswayne,
+ He donned his best array;
+And he has ta’en to his mother dear
+ To the lofty hall his way.
+
+In came Germand Gladenswayne,
+ In scarlet clad was he:
+“O mother lend me thy feather robe
+ To fly across the sea.”
+
+“My feather robe hangs upon the crook,
+ The feathers droop so low,
+If thou dost fly to the foreign land
+ I shall see thee never moe.
+
+“The pinions are so broad that they
+ Grow heavy in the air,
+I’ll have another made for me
+ If I live another year.”
+
+He set himself in the feather robe,
+ Flew o’er the ocean straight;
+And there met him the raven wild,
+ Beneath a rock did wait.
+
+He flew up, and he flew down,
+ He flew in fearless guise;
+And when he reached the midst of the sea
+ He heard a frightful voice.
+
+“Ha, well met, Germand Gladenswayne,
+ O’er long hast thou delay’d;
+Thou wast but little when to me
+ A present thou wast made!”
+
+“O let me fare, O let me fly,
+ To speak my maiden dear;
+Be sure that I, when her I’ve seen,
+ Again will meet thee here.”
+
+“Then I will let thee fly, but still
+ My mark on thee will set,
+Lest thou midst knights and beauteous dames
+ Thy raven lord forget.”
+
+Then out the boy’s right eye he tore,
+ And drank up half his blood;
+But still he reached the bower of his bride,
+ His heart was yet so good.
+
+He set himself by the Damsels’ bower,
+ All bloody and distrest;
+All the dames within that were
+ Forgot to smile and jest.
+
+All the damsels grew so still,
+ With horror sat they fast;
+Except proud Damsel Adelude,
+ Aside her work she cast.
+
+All the maids within forsook
+ Both jest and merry note;
+’Twas the proud Damsel Adelude
+ Her hands together smote.
+
+“Now welcome, Germand Gladenswayne,
+ Where hast thou been to play?
+Say, why bebloodied are thy clothes,
+ And pale thy cheeks as clay?”
+
+“Farewell, dear Damsel Adelude,
+ I soon from thee must fly;
+For he must have my youthful life
+ Who tore from me my eye.”
+
+Her silver handled comb she took,
+ And strove to comb his head;
+For every hair that she did comb
+ A briny tear she shed.
+
+For every lock the maiden combed
+ A stream of tears did run;
+How often she the mother cursed
+ Who had betrayed her son.
+
+It was Damsel Adelude,
+ She took him in her arm:
+“Accursed be the wicked Dame
+ Who caused us all this harm.”
+
+“Hear thou, sweet Damsel Adelude,
+ Curse not my mother so,
+She had no power in this affair,
+ We all to fate must bow.”
+
+He set him in his feather robe,
+ And mounted on the wind;
+She set her in another robe,
+ And followed fast behind.
+
+“O turn thee, Damsel Adelude,
+ Turn my beloved one,
+Thy bower door doth open stand,
+ Thy keys lie on the stone.”
+
+“Though my bower door doth open stand,
+ And my keys lie on the stone,
+Yet I will follow thee to the place
+ Where harm to thee was done.”
+
+All the birds she cut so small
+ She met with there on high,
+Except the laidly Raven wild,
+ And him she could not spy.
+
+’Twas the proud Damsel Adelude
+ Flew down towards the strand;
+Nought found she of the Gladenswayne
+ Except the good right hand.
+
+She flew so wroth the clouds below
+ The laidly bird to find;
+She flew East, and she flew West,
+ To slay him she designed.
+
+She hacked the birds into pieces three,
+ Before her knife that came;
+But when she met the Raven wild
+ Into ten she hacked his frame.
+
+And still till she of sorrow died
+ She flew across the heath;
+It was for Germand Gladenswayne
+ She suffered grief and death.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

+
+Section 5. 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.
