“Our way lays through the cavern drear,Where this fell monster lies,
Th' unwary to surprise!
And damnify with fear.
Oh! Ragnar, have a care!
Let not his fierce, his angry gaze,
Work fear within thy soul;
For, if it should be so,
Oh! then tremendous woe
Will, Sea-King, rest on thee;—
163
To all eternity!
Remember much depends,
Upon thy fortitude;
If thou canst put to flight,
This baneful son of night,
Thou gainest life, thou gainest friends,
And every earthly good.”
