        How they went hurrying,
        How they went scurrying!
In came a troll-wife, her hunger to sate,
Killed she the dogs, roasted them and ate,
        One by one the men
        Cast in the fire, and then
Greedily devoured, still smelling for more.

        How they went hurrying,
        How they went scurrying!
From the loft a man doth a spear-shaft launch
In through her back and out through her paunch;
        Shrieking and quaking,
        The spear-shaft shaking,
Bellowing the troll rushed out into the forest.

        How they go hurrying,
        How they go scurrying!
Three men on a single pair of ski,
Rushing past village, and mountain, and tree,
        Stormy skies and clear,
        And the Yule-tide near,
Norway lies below them dotted with its lights.

        How they go hurrying,
        How they go scurrying!
“Here is your country, you now are secure;
Greet King Olaf, for him ’t is sure
