Then went the bondmaid home, and told Sigrun, and sang — Go out, Sigrun From Sevafell, If thou listest to look on The lord of thy people ! For the mound is uncovered Thither is Helgi come, And his wounds are bleeding, But the king thee biddeth To come and stay That stream of sorrow. So Sigrun...
第 76 頁 - Help-runes shalt thou gather If skill thou wouldst gain To loosen child from low-laid mother; Cut be they in hands hollow, Wrapped the joints round about; Call for the Good-folks' gainsome helping Learn the bough-runes wisdom If leech-lore thou lovest; And wilt wot about wounds' searching On the bark be they scored; On the buds of trees Whose boughs look eastward ever. Thought-runes shalt thou deal with If thou wilt be of all men Fairest-souled wight, and wisest, These areded These first cut These...
第 5 頁 - Sigi and all his folk with him. But Rerir, his son, was not in this trouble, and he brought together so mighty a strength of his friends and the great men of the land, that he got to himself both the lands and kingdom of Sigi his father; and so now, when he deems that the feet under him stand firm in his rule, then he calls to mind that which he had against his mother's brothers, who had slain his father. So the king gathers together a mighty army, and therewith falls on his kinsmen, deeming that...
第 99 頁 - speak not to me of such things ; unless thou be the first and best of all men ; for then shalt thou slay those my wooers, if thou hast heart thereto ; I have been in battles with the king of the Greeks, and our weapons were stained with red blood, and for such things still I yearn."

For his wounding-wand All wrought with gold, The king...
