FRITHIOF. Thou conquerest, child of Bele ; weep no more ; Forgive my anger : ah ! 'twas nought but grief, Which for a moment borrowed anger's garb, A garb which I can never carry long. Oh ! Ingeborg, thou art my Norna good ; The noble best nobility can teach ; The wisdom of necessity can have Never a better advocate than thee, 72 FRITHIOF'S SAGA. Oh ! lovely Vala, with the rosy lips. Yes, I will yield before necessity, Will part from thee, but never part from hope. Hope I'll bear with me o'er t...he western waves, I'll bear it with me to the gates of death. With the first spring-day will I hie me home ; Me shall King Helge soon, I trust, behold, My vow accomplished, and my task fulfilled, The crime forgiven of which I stand accused. Then shall I ask thee nay, shall claim thy hand Upon the open Ting, 'midst naked swords, From Helge not, but from the Northland race, That is thy sponsor true, thou child of Icings. I have a word for him who shall refuse. Till then, farewell be true, remember me ; And take, in memory of our childhood's love, My arm-ring here, Valunder's beauteous work, With heavenly wonders graven on the gold ; Still worthier wonder is a faithful heart.
