“I know full well, my generous lord,
No braver chief e'er drew a sword,”
The queen replied. “To such as thee
I well can trust my throne and me.
Now to the test, the final lot,
Whether you fight the king or not.”—
He drew the left, and thereupon
To fight King Eric there was none.
No braver chief e'er drew a sword,”
The queen replied. “To such as thee
I well can trust my throne and me.
Now to the test, the final lot,
Whether you fight the king or not.”—
He drew the left, and thereupon
To fight King Eric there was none.
