161 FRITHIOF’S SAGA

Up to the brim he filled it there
With gold from foreign lands: —
"This gift of welcome take, O guest,
To do as thou may’st will:
But for the winter stay and rest
With us in friendship still.

"Though valor never should be scorned,
Yet now the storm rules wide;
By now again to life returned,
I ’11 wager Ham and Heyd.
Ellida may not always leap

So luckily again;
And whales are plenty in the deep,
Though one she may have slain."

And so in merry mood they stay’d

Till morning’s sun did rise:
The oft-drained golden goblets made

Them glad, but not unwise.
With sk&l to Angantyr, at last,
The horn they loudly drain:
So, safely housed, till winter passed,
Did Frithiof remain.
