+ With the land how does it go?” + +“O, well fare things in Hafsborough, + And well in the country all; +Tord has his golden hammer lost, + Therefore seek I your hall.” + +“Tord he shall not his hammer get, + Thou back may’st carry him word; +Full five-and-ninety fathoms deep + It lies in the earth interred. + +“Tord he shall not his hammer get, + To thee I vow and swear, +Save he give me Damsel Fridleifsborg, + With all his goods and gear.” + +It was Lokke Leyemand, + O’er himself the feather robe drew; +And with his answer back amain + O’er the briny sea he flew. + +“Thou never wilt get thy hammer of gold, + Upon that thou may’st rely, +Unless he have Damsel Fridleifsborg, + And all our property.” + +Then answered straight the proud Damsel, + Upon the bench as she sate: +“Ye’d better give me a Christian man, + Than the laidly trold for mate. + +“But we will take our old father, + And deck so fine his head, +And we’ll carry him to the Northern hills, + To stand for bride in my stead.” + +And now to the house of the merry bridegroom + They the young old bride convey; +Upon her dress no gold was spared, + For a verity I say. + +And so they took the lovely bride, + On the bride-bench placed her frame; +And to skink before the bride himself + The carlish Count he came. + +Then she ate six oxen bodies, + And three fat swine beside; +Loaves seven hundred were her meal, + Ere for a draught she cried. + +Before her thirst she could assuage + She drank ten casks of ale; +She set the can once more to her mouth + And to hickuping then she fell. + +The carlish Count strode up and down, + And wrung his hands so sore: +“O whence can this young bride be come?

+So many bells that saddle array.” + +The Count to his page that evening said: +“My saddle wipe, ere thou get thee to bed. + +“For to-morrow I’m bent to ride to the Ting, +I’ll have Carl hanged, the son of the King.” + +Then the Countess in bitter grief answer made: +“You’ll ne’er live so long as to see him dead. + +“My father’s servant last year thou wast, +Now to sleep with his daughter the honour thou hast.” + +The Count at that word so ireful grew, +He smote his wife that the blood out-flew. + +At hand was Sir Carl, heard all they spake: +“I soon of this matter an end will make.” + +Then Carl he entered through the door, +And a naked sword in his hand he bore. + +“Thou dog, thou shalt never more have the might +The gentle daughters of Kings to smite. + +“Thou dog, thou shalt never more have the power +To threaten Kings’ children within thy bower.” + +The Count by his long yellow locks he took, +And by the bed’s side his head off strook. + +“Do thou lie there, and for ever be banned, +I’ll bestow on another my sister’s hand. + +“I’ll give her Sir Allegast, he is a knight +So true and trusty and valiant in fight.” + +The King’s sweet daughter has Allegast wed, +For her infamous husband unwept lies dead. + +These gallants were thieves in no other way, +Than that they a trick on the Count would play. + +But could all thieving come to so fair an end, +There’s many, I trow, would a-thieving wend! + + + + +EPIGRAMS + + +1 + + +Assume a friend’s face when a foeman you spy, +For his hatred you’ll turn into friendship thereby. +Deal gentle words round you when threats are outpoured, +For not against silk do we use the sharp sword. +By means of caresses and promises fair, +The elephant fierce you may guide with a hair. + + + +2 + + +The lion in woods finds prey of noble kind, + In fields of air the hawk sufficient meat; +He who would hunt within a house confined, + Must needs possess the spider’s hands and feet. + + + +3 + + +Though God provides our daily bread + Yet all must seek that bread, I ween; +Though all must die, there is no need + To rush the dragon’s jaws between. + + + +4 + + +To trust a man I never feel inclined, +Unless I know his very inmost mind; +Better an open foe your flesh should rend, +Than you should deem a secret foe your friend. + + + +5 + + +A hunter who was always seeking game +In evil hour upon a tiger came; +Chance to the hunter is not always kind, +Instead of game he may a tiger find. + + + +6 + + +The plans of men of shrewdest wit + To fail are known, +Whilst beardless lads the mark will hit + By chance alone. + + + +7 + + +Well was it said, long years ago, +Never trust him whom you’ve given a blow; +Trust not the heart you have caused to ache, +For thine, if it can, it will surely break. +Fling not a stone at the wall of a town, +Lest one from the rampart should strike you down. + + + +8 + + +Who roams the world by many wants beset, +Is quickly glad his own name to forget; +Unless you’ve gold you cannot do much harm, +And if you’ve gold you need no other arm. +Gold if you lack you cannot cross the brine; +Better than ten men’s strength is one man’s coin. + + + + +ON A YOUNG MAN WITH RED HAIR + + +He is a lad of sober mind, +By no means martially inclined; +Nor fit to bear war’s dreadful shocks, +Although he carries fire-locks. + + * * * * * + + LONDON: + Printed for THOMAS J.

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 are 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. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

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. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +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. + |
