Läsebok. N:o 94—95. 120

Erling (coming back wilh a white
garland on his head.)
Here am I now, dear father, with my garland.

Hakon.

Now kneel, my child, to Odin, ere thou goest;
Lift up thy hands unto the Throne of Heaven,
And say, »Allfather, hear the little Erling,
And keep him under thy Almighty care».

Erling (throwing himself on his knees towards the sun, and

stretching forth his arms.)
»0! hear the little Erling’s prayer, Allfather,
And keep him under thine Almighty care»!
(Hakon, who stands beside hirn, grasps his dagger, which,
when he is about to strike, falls from his hand.)

Erling (calmly rising, and picking
up the dagger.)
There is thy dagger, father; oh, how bright
And sharp! When I am grown a man, I’ll have
As beautiful a weapon to defend thee,
My father, ’gainst thy foes.

Hakon.

Alas! my child,
By what magician’s power are such words given
For ever to thy tongue, to wring my heart?

Erling.

Art angry with me, father? Have I done wrong?

Hakon.

Come, Erling; go with me behind this image.

Erling.

Behind that ugly greybeard? — No!

Hakon.

Obey!

Hoses are blossoming behind that image;
Small, snow-white roses, beautiful red roses,
Roses of blood-red crimson! "Tis a joy,
A real joy to see how rapidly
They burst the bud. Come with me.

Erling (weeping.)

Dearest father,
I feel so much afeard of those red roses!
