King Eric smiled, and made reply:

We're three to one, and doubly strong;
But none shall gallant foeman wrong:
Then yield thee to a king this day,
Whose sword in battle ne'er gave way.”

We're three to one, and doubly strong;

Then yield thee to a king this day,
Whose sword in battle ne'er gave way.”
