+
+CHILD MAIDELVOLD.
+
+
+The fair Sidselil, of all maidens the flower,
+With her mother the Queen sat at work in her bower.
+
+So hard at the woof the fair Sidselil plies,
+That out from her bosom, so white, the milk flies.
+
+"Now hear thou, O Sidselil, child of my heart,
+What causes the milk from thy bosom to start?"
+
+"O that is not milk, my dear mother, I vow,
+It is but the mead I was drinking just now."
+
+"Unlike are the two, most unlike to the sight,
+The one it is brown, and the other is white."
+
+"I see it is best that the truth be declared,
+The handsome Child Maidelvold me has ensnared."
+
+"And if it be truth what thou now hast declared,
+And handsome Child Maidelvold thee has ensnared,
+
+"Aloft on the gallows I'll hang him, I trow,
+And burn thee to ashes the gallows below."
+
+Proud Sidselil she her blue mantle puts on,
+And unto Child Maidelvold's bower she is gone.
+
+With her fingers so tapering she twirled at the pin:
+"Child Maidelvold rise, and with speed let me in."
+
+"I've summoned no one the tribunal before,
+And at night to no one will I open my door."
+
+"Child Maidelvold rise, I beseech, in Christ's name,
+I've spoke to my mother who knows of my shame.
+
+"Aloft on the gallows she'll hang thee, I trow,
+And burn me to ashes the gallows below."
+
+"O I will not hang, my sweet maiden, for thee
+And thou shalt not burn, my sweet maiden, for me.
+
+"Collect thou thy gold in the coffer with speed,
+And I'll to the stable and saddle my steed."
+
+He flung round the maiden his mantle so wide,
+And he lifted her up on his courser of pride.
+
+They came to the wood of the briar and rose,
+There Sidselil craved for a while to repose.
+
+"Now art thou fatigued by thy journey, sweet love,
+Or say, does the saddle too close for thee prove?"
+
+"I am not o'ercome by the journey, sweet love,
+But the saddle too close for my burden doth prove."
+
+He spread on the cold earth his mantle so wide:
+"Here rest thee a space and I'll watch by thy side."
+
+"O Jesus, that one of my maidens were near,
+The pains of a mother are on me I fear."
+
+"Thy maidens are now at a distance from thee,
+And thou hast no one to assist thee but me."
+
+"'Twere better to perish again and again,
+Than thou should'st stand by me and gaze on my pain."
+
+"Then take off thy kerchief and cover my head,
+And perhaps I may stand in the wise woman's stead."
+
+"One draught of pure water could'st thou bring me now,
+To cheer up my heart that is sinking so low?"
+
+So faithful to her was the Child, and so true,
+He fetched her the drink in her gold spangled shoe.
+
+Child Maidelvold sped through the forest so black,
+He went to the fountain the wearisome track.
+
+And when he arrived at the fount in the vale,
+Two nightingales sat there and sang him their tale:
+
+"Dead Sidselil lieth beneath the green bough,
+With two little babes on her bosom of snow."
+
+He paid little heed to the nightingales' lay,
+And traced through the forest his wearisome way.
+
+But, ah! what a spectacle burst on his view,
+The little birds' story he found to be true.
+
+A grave broad and deep has Child Maidelvold made,
+Therein the unfortunate three he has laid.
+
+As o'er them he clamped the mould down with his boot,
+He thought that the babies screamed under his foot.
+
+Against a grey stone has the Child set his sword,
+The point of the blade his heart mortally gor'd.
+
+He was true to his Sidselil whilst he had breath,
+He lies 'neath the earth now beside her in death.
+
+*** Another, but widely different, version of this Ballad was printed in
+_Romantic Ballads_, 1826, pp. 28-31, under the title _Sir Middel_.  In
+this version the name of the heroine is Swanelil, in place of Sidselil;
+and that of the hero is Sir Middel, in place of Child Maidelvold.
+
+
+
+
+SIR PETER.
+
+
+Sir Peter and Kirstin they sat by the board,
+Betwixt them in jest there passed many a word.
+
+"Now listen to me, good Sir Peter the knight,
+Say, when wilt thou me to thy bridal invite?"
+
+"'Twill be held in a far distant country, I trow,
+So far that to come quite unable art thou."
+
+"And though thou shouldst hold it, Sir Peter, in Rome,
+If thou shouldst invite me I'd certainly come."
+
+"And if at my bridals thou wish to appear,
+Behind thou must leave all thy red golden gear."
+
+"In my red golden gear I will ever go dight,
+For it was not gained by dishonor, Sir Knight."
+
+Sir Peter he bids them his bridals get ready,
+Cries Kirstin: "Now shoe ye my palfrey so steady."
+
+Fair Kirstin she saddles her courser so gray,
+To the house of Sir Peter she taketh her way.
+
+She rides her horse into Sir Peter's court yard,
+And there stood the knight, clad in sable and mard.
+
+"Now hear thou, Sir Peter, so handsome and fine,
+Say, may I this day skink before thee the wine?"
+
+"To skink wine before me if thee I permit,
+Thou on the stone bench with the servants shalt sit."
+
+Adown her cheeks trickled the tear-drops so free--
+How hard by each mortal insulted to be!
+
+To the high and wide hall good Sir Peter proceeds,
+Fair Kirstin behind him in rich scarlet weeds.
+
+A coronet glittered her temples upon,
+And full of gold rings were her fingers, each one.
+
+When into the hall little Kirstin she came,
+Uprose to receive her each maiden and dame.
+
+She took in her fair hand the white silver can,
+To skink mead before the young knight she began.
+
+The youthful bride said to her servant: "Canst tell
+The name of that skinker, that sweet demoiselle?"
+
+Then answered the servant, as low as she might:
+"'Tis only Sir Peter his love-lady light."
+
+"And if he possessed such a leman, why rode
+Sir Peter the knight to my father's abode?
+
+"And had good Sir Peter a leman so brave,
+O why did he me of my father e'er crave.
+
+"More gold she displays on her ten fingers small,
+Than my father could show in his good castle all."
+
+Now o'er was the supper, the laugh and the song,
+To retire to her bed the young bride she doth long.
+
+With the bride to the bridal apartment they go,
+Fair Kirstin in front bears the yellow flambeau.
+
+The bride in the soft bridal couch they have plac'd,
+To come to her arms good Sir Peter made haste.
+
+
+
+
+INGEFRED AND GUDRUNE.
+
+
+Ingefred and Gudrune they sate in their bower,
+Each bloomed a beauteous fragrant flower--
+   _So sweet it is in summer tide_!
+
+A working the gold fair Ingefred kept,
+Still sate Gudrune, and bitterly wept.
+
+"Dear sister Gudrune so fain I'd know
+Why down thy cheek the salt tears flow?"
+
+"Cause enough have I to be thus forlorn,
+With a load of sorrow my heart is worn.
+
+"Hear, Ingefred, hear what I say to thee,
+Wilt thou to-night stand bride for me?
+
+"If bride for me thou wilt stand to-night,
+I'll give thee my bridal clothes thee to requite.
+
+"And more, much more to thee I'll give,
+All my bride jewels thou shalt receive."
+
+"O I will not stand for bride in thy room,
+Save I also obtain thy merry bridegroom."
+
+"Betide me whatever the Lord ordain
+From me my bridegroom thou never shalt gain."
+
+In silks so costly the bride they arrayed,
+And unto the kirk the bride they conveyed.
+
+In golden cloth weed the holy priest stands,
+He joins of Gudrune and Samsing the hands.
+
+O'er the downs and green grass meadows they sped,
+Where the herdsman watched his herd as it fed.
+
+"Of thy beauteous self, dear Damsel, take heed,
+Ne'er enter the house of Sir Samsing, I rede.
+
+"Sir Samsing possesses two nightingales
+Who tell of the Ladies such wondrous tales.
+
+"With their voices of harmony they can declare
+Whether maiden or none has fallen to his share."
+
+The chariot they stopped in the green wood shade,
+An exchange 'twixt them of their clothes they made.
+
+They change of their dress whatever they please,
+Their faces they cannot exchange with like ease.
+
+To Sir Samsing's house the bride they conveyed,
+Of the ruddy gold no spare was made.
+
+On the bridal throne the bride they plac'd,
+They skinked the mead for the bride to taste.
+
+Then said from his place the court buffoon,
+"Methinks thou art Ingefred not Gudrune."
+
+From off her hand a gold ring she took,
+Which she gave the buffoon with entreating look.
+
+Said he: "I'm an oaf and have drunk too hard,
+To words of mine pay no regard."
+
+'Twas deep at night, and down fell the mist,
+To her bed the young bride they assist.
+
+Sir Samsing spoke to his nightingales twain:
+"Before my young bride sing now a strain.
+
+"A song now sing which shall avouch
+Whether I've a maiden or none in my couch."
+
+"A maid's in the bed, that's certain and sure,
+Gudrune is standing yet on the floor."
+
+"Proud Ingefred straight from my couch retire!
+Gudrune come hither, or dread my ire!
+
+"Now tell me, Gudrune, with open heart,
+What made thee from thy bed depart?"
+
+"My father, alas! dwelt near the strand,
+When war and bloodshed filled the land.
+
+"Full eight there were broke into my bower,
+One only ravished my virgin flower."
+
+Upon her fair cheek he gave a kiss:
+"My dearest, my dearest, all sorrow dismiss;
+
+"My swains they were that broke into thy bower,
+'Twas I that gathered thy virgin flower."
+
+Fair Ingefred gained, because bride she had been,
+One of the King's knights of handsome mien.
+
+
+
+
+SIR RIBOLT.
+
+
+Ribolt the son of a Count was he--
+Gulborg he courted in secrecy.
+
+Since she was a child the maid he woo'd,
+And till she had come to womanhood.
+
+"Gulborg do thou become my bride,
+In a better land then thou shalt reside.
+
+"Unto the land I thee will bear,
+Where grief ne'er comes the mind to tear.
+
+"To an island 'neath a blissful sky,
+Where thou shalt live and never die."
+
+"To the land thou never me wilt bear,
+But grief shall come the mind to tear.
+
+"Nor me to the isle wilt thou convey
+Where I've no death to the Lord to pay."
+
+"O there no grass but the leek up-springs,
+And there no bird but the cuckoo sings.
+
+"No other water flows than wine,
+Thou may'st believe these words of mine."
+
+"But how from the Castle can I fly?
+So many watch incessantly.
+
+"I'm watched by father, watched by mother,
+By sister I am watched, and brother.
+
+"I'm watched by the man to whom I'm plighted,
+And I fear him more than the rest united."
+
+"Although by all thy clan controll'd,
+Thy promise to me thou yet shall hold.
+
+"In my acton blue I thee will case,
+And my golden helm on thy head I'll place.
+
+"I'll gird thee with my sword of worth,
+Then none will think that a maid rides forth.
+
+"Decked with my gilded spurs so free,
+Thou off may'st ride though thy father see."
+
+O'er her he threw his mantle wide,
+And set her upon his steed of pride.
+
+When on the moor themselves they found,
+Met them a Count, in arms renown'd.
+
+"Here, Ribolt, hear, dear comrade mine,
+Say, who's that fair young page of thine?"
+
+"Comrade, it is my youngest brother,
+I've ta'en him from his doting mother."
+
+"It little avails such tales to tell;
+Gulborg, Gulborg, I know thee well.
+
+"Thy scarlet dress thou may'st disguise,
+But thy cheeks of rose I recognise.
+
+"Thy hair I know of fairest sort,
+For long I've served at thy father's court.
+
+"By thy garb and shoon I know thee not,
+But I know the knight who thy troth has got."
+
+A bracelet drew she forth of gold,
+And gave it to that Count so bold:
+
+"Where'er thou rest thee at close of day,
+Be sure no word of me thou say."
+
+The Count he rode to Kulloe house,
+Where the kemps were drinking a deep carouse.
+
+He enter'd at Sir Truid's gate--
+At his table wide Sir Truid sate.
+
+"Here, Truid, thou sitt'st the red wine taking,
+Whilst Ribolt off with thy bride is making."
+
+Then through his hall Sir Truid roar'd:
+"Up, up, ye knights, take helm and sward!"
+
+Barely a mile had they advanced
+When fair Gulborg behind her glanced.
+
+"O yonder my father's steed I see,
+And the knight who is betrothed to me."
+
+"Gulborg, be therefore in no pain,
+But hold our steeds by the bridle rein.
+
+"And though to earth thou see me fall,
+Gulborg thou must not upon me call.
+
+"And though thou see me freely bleed,
+Let not my name from thy mouth proceed."
+
+His helm on his head Sir Ribolt cast,
+Gulborg with her fair hands laced it fast.
+
+Then, crying his cry, he slays outright
+Her father dear and her plighted knight,
+
+And, at the second "Halloo," he slew
+Her brothers with locks of yellow hue.
+
+"Desist, O Ribolt, my heart's ador'd,
+'Tis time, 'tis time to sheath thy sword.
+
+"My youngest brother I pray thee spare,
+That he to my mother may tiding bear;
+
+"Bear her the tidings of the slaughter,
+O would she never had borne a daughter!"
+
+Scarce had the name of Ribolt sounded,
+When Ribolt tottered, deadly wounded.
+
+He sheathed his faulchion, blood be-dyed:
+"Come, dear Gulborg, we hence will ride."
+
+They thread the mazes of the wood,
+No word escaped him, bad or good.
+
+"Hear, Ribolt, hear, my destined mate,
+Why art not glad as thou wast of late?"
+
+"Gulborg, I feel my life-blood leak,
+Gulborg, I feel me faint and weak.
+
+"But chiefly, chiefly I look not pleas'd
+Because Death's hand my heart has seiz'd."
+
+"Myself of my girdle I'll dis-array,
+And thy streaming blood will stanch and stay."
+
+"God bless thee ever, my own true love,
+Of service slight will thy girdle prove."
+
+And when to the Castle gate they won,
+His mother stood there and leaned thereon.
+
+"Welcome, my son, thou art welcome twice,
+And thy fair young bride she is welcome thrice.
+
+"I ne'er have seen a bride so pale
+Come travelling over hill and dale."
+
+"If pale she be is a wonder slight,
+When she has witness'd so hard a fight.
+
+"God grant I may retain my breath
+Whilst parting presents I bequeath.
+
+"To my father I give my courser tall,
+O mother I pray thee a priest to call.
+
+"And unto my brother, who's standing near,
+I give Gulborg whom I love so dear."
+
+"O willingly her to wife I'd take,
+If, brother, 'twere not for the black sin's sake."
+
+"May the Lord God me in my trouble aid,
+So sure as she is for me a maid.
+
+"'Twas only once that I had the bliss
+From her rosy mouth to snatch a kiss."
+
+"O better, better to sink in death,
+Than unto two brothers plight my faith."
+
+Ribolt was dead ere the cock did cry,
+Gulborg was dead ere the sun was high.
+
+They bore from the Castle corses three,
+A handsome corse was each to see.
+
+The one was Ribolt, the other his bride,
+His mother the third, of grief she died.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
