the darling, I dealt them due return!”

bent to the ocean and entered our boat,
that I would work the will of your people

in fiend’s gripe fast.”

since I could heave up hand and shield,
this noble Dane-Hall, till now to thee.”

who emulous swam on the open sea,
when for pride the pair of you proved the floods,
and wantonly dared in waters deep
to risk your lives?”
