“Sire, I've already fought and won;
The great decisive deed is done.
This day thy grandson's hand hath slain
Great Eric of the northern main;
Hath gained for thee supreme renown,
And won my father's ancient crown;
And, what is more than power or fame,
I've won the flower of all our name!”

And won my father's ancient crown;
And, what is more than power or fame,
