ARNLJOT GELLINE
The King smiled, saying:
“<T believe in Jesus Christ!”
Arnljot the King then answered:
“That shall do naught to divide us;
In whom thou believest, believe I also.”
The King smiled, saying:
«Thou that camest to me latest,
Thou shalt stand first on the morrow,
In the van of my royal standard!”
Arnljot arose to his feet then, saying:
“The years that have sped are thirty
Since Vikar, my only brother,
Stood in the van at Svolder,
Olaf thy kinsman defending.
First of his men to fall there, was Vikar.’”? —
All of the body-guard raised then
Marvelling outcry, recalling
To mind the race and its fortunes;
Perceiving in Vikar’s ending
The death foreshadowed that Arnljot craved for.
While now the host of the foeman
Ranged itself in the distance,
Pious the King held discourse
Life and death concerning.
Wondrous things met Arnljot’s vision.
