“My liege, I had your sacred word,
Given fully, of your own accord;
I ween'd on that I might rely:
Can Odin's son his troth deny?
I claim it; and to-morrow stand,
To win or fall at thy right hand.
Thy word is given; if broke it be,
By Thor, the breaker fights with me!”

To win or fall at thy right hand.

By Thor, the breaker fights with me!”
