GANDALF.
Jeg vilde dulgt det for dig, derfor gik jeg
at kalde folket ned igen til snekken
og sejle bort; du skulde aldrig vidst –
dog hornet varsler, at det er forsilde;
de kommer hid.

GANDALF.
I thought to hide it from you,--hence I went
To call my people to the ship again
And sail away; you never should have known,--
The trumpet warns me that it is too late,--
That they are coming.

BLANKA.
Hvem kommer, hvem?

BLANKA.
Who are coming?

GANDALF.
Så vid da,
de fremmede, som fordum hærjed øen,
var vikinger som jeg.

GANDALF.
Then know,--
The strangers who once harried on the isle
Were vikings like myself.

BLANKA.
Fra Norden?

BLANKA.
From Norway?

GANDALF.
Ja.
Min fader faldt, og han var deres drot, –
thi må han hævnes.

GANDALF.
Yes.
My father, who was chief among them, fell,--
Hence must he be avenged.

BLANKA.
Hævnes?

BLANKA.
Avenged?

GANDALF.
Det er skik
og vedtægt mellem os.

GANDALF.
Such is
The custom.

BLANKA.
Ha! jeg begriber!

BLANKA.
Ah, I see now!

GANDALF.
De kommer! Stil dig bag ved mig.

GANDALF.
Here they come!
Stand close behind me!

BLANKA.
Væk, blodmand!

BLANKA.
Man of blood,--away!
