"Art thou the skald ?" said the king.
"I can compose poetry, " replied he.
"Wilt thou then adopt Christianity, and come into my service?" asked the king.
"If I am baptized, " replies he, "it must be on one con- dition, — that thou thyself art my godfather; for no other will I have. " The king replies, "That I will do. " And Halfred was baptized, the king holding him during the baptism.
Afterwards the king said, "Wilt thou enter into my service?" Halfred replied, "I was formerly in Earl Hakon's
...court ; but now I will neither enter into thine nor into any other service, unless thou promise me it shall never be my lot to be driven away from thee. " "It has been reported to me, " said the king, "that thou are neither so prudent nor so obedient as to fulfil my commands. " "In that case, " replied Halfred, "put me to death. " IS 215 THE HEIMSKRINCLA "Thou art a skald who composes difficulties, " says the king; "but into my service, Half red, thou shalt be received.
