j FRITHIOF’S SAGA 170

"And, therefore, to my waves again. Away, away, my
dragon good,

Thy sable breast plunge merrily once more into the briny
flood;

Spread to the clouds thy pinions bright, the hissing ocean
proudly tear,

And fly as far as stars can lead,as swift as conquered waves
can bear.

"Let me hear the storm tremendous, let me hear fierce
thunder’s voice;

When tumultuous din surrounds me, calmly can my breast
rejoice.

In clang of shields and hail of arrows be my furious
sea-fights passed,

Till glad I fall, and rise, forgiven, to the gods appeased at
last."
