At last before the fierce Sea-King he stood.
“Thrice welcome to these halls” he said;
“These halls that lay beneath the surging flood,
Are open to the living and the dead.
Living and dead, have both been here ere now,
Yet none so welcome, brave Sea-King, as thou!
But follow me,—mayhap that I can show
Thy feeble sense, what thou mayest wish to know.”
