CHAPTER IV

[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]


8

[“Yea, seest thou thy wide wounds bleed?]

[Onund.]
“Yea, seest thou thy wide wounds bleed?
What of shrinking didst thou heed
In the one-foot sling of gold?
What scratch here dost thou behold?
And in e'en such wise as this
Many an axe-breaker there is
Strong of tongue and weak of hand:
Tried thou wert, and mightst not stand.”
