CHAPTER XIV. KETILRID BETROTHED TO HAKON.
[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]
106
[“Stem where the gathered gold meets]
[Viglund.]“Stem where the gathered gold meets,
All trust I gave unto thee:
Last thought of all thoughts was it
That thou couldst wed another.
But now no oaths avail us,
Nought are our many kisses;
Late learn we of women:
Her word to me is broken.”
[“I would abide the bale-fire]
[Viglund.]“I would abide the bale-fire,
Or bear the steel-tree's smiting,
As other men may bear it;
But heavy maidens' redes are:
Sorely to me it seemeth,
Gold spoilers' shoulder-branches,
The sweet that was my maiden
Other than mine entwining.”
