CHAPTER XI. FRITHIOF FARETH TO SEE KING RING AND INGIBIORG.
[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]
73
[“Peace-thief they called me]
[Cowl-bearer.]“Peace-thief they called me
On the prow with the Vikings;
But War-thief whenas
I set widows a-weeping;
Spear-thief when I
Sent forth the barbed shafts;
Battle-thief when I
Burst forth on the king;
Hel-thief when I
Tossed up the small babies:
Isle-thief when I
In the outer isles harried;
Slains-thief when I
Sat aloft over men:
Yet since have I drifted
With salt-boiling carls,
Needy of help
Ere hither I came.”
