GANDALF.
Vent, jeg vil berette
hvad der er hændt. I véd, min fader var
en vældig viking. Tolv år er det siden
han sidste gang en vår drog ud i leding
med Asgaut der og sine gamle kæmper.
To år han flakkede fra strand til strand,
og gæsted Bretland, Valland, ja selv Blåland;
til slutning hærjed han på Sikiløj,
og hørte der berette om en høvding,
som boed her på holmen i et slot
med stærke mure bygget op på fjeldet,
og der var kostelige skatte gemt.
Ved nattetid han landed under stranden,
og borgen hærjed han med ild og sværd.
Selv var han foran som en ægget bjørn,
og i berserkergangen så han ej,
hvordan hans kæmper segned rundt omkring ham;
og da det første daggry randt i øst,
lå hele borgen rygende i grus.
Kun Asgaut stod igen med nogle få, –
min fader og vel hundrede med ham
var redet gennem flammerne til Valhal.
GANDALF.
Wait,--I shall relate
How all this stands. You know, my father was
A mighty viking. Twelve years gone it is
Since he the last time sallied forth one spring
With Asgaut there and all his old time warriors.
Two years he roamed about from strand to strand,
Visiting Bratland, Valland, even Blaaland;
At length he went and harried Sicily,
And there heard stories of a wealthy chief,
Who lived upon this island in a castle
With sturdy walls built on a rocky base,
And in it there were costly treasures hid.
At night he took his men and went ashore,
And razed the castle walls with fire and sword.
Himself went foremost like an angry bear,
And in the fury of the fight saw not
How all his warriors fell about him dead;
And when the morning sun rose in the east,
There lay the castle smouldering in ruin.
Asgaut alone survived with one or two,--
My father and the hundred others there
Had ridden to Valhalla through the flames.
