CHAPTER XXI. OF GRETTIR AND BIORN AND THE BEAR.

[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]


55

[“Oft that war-god came to hall]

[Grettir.]
“Oft that war-god came to hall
Frighted, when no blood did fall,
In the dusk; who ever cried
On the bear last autumn-tide;
No man saw me sitting there
Late at eve before the lair;
Yet the shaggy one to-day
From his den I drew away.”
