[“Fare not away]

[King Ring.]
“Fare not away,
O Frithiof, thus,
With downcast heart,
O dearest of chieftains!
For now will I give thee
For all thy good gifts,
Far better things
Than thou wottest thyself.”

And again he sang:

“To Frithiof the famous
My fair wife I give,
And all things therewith
That are unto me.”
