BORROW + + LONDON: + PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION + 1913 + + + + +THE DALBY BEAR + + +There goes a bear on Dalby moors, +Oxen and horses he devours. + +The peasants are in deep distress +The laidly bear should them oppress. + +Their heads together at length they lay, +How they the bear might seize and slay. + +They drove their porkers through the wood, +The bear turn’d round as he lay at food. + +Outspoke as best he could the bear: +“What kind of guests approach my lair?” + +Uprose the bear amain from his food, +A christian man before him stood. + +A little hour together they fought, +The bear to the earth the man has brought. + +Fast came a knight as he could make, +He heard the heart of the peasant break. + +The bear upon him fiercely glar’d; +“Thou needst not hurry, I’m prepar’d.” + +“And thou by me shalt be stoutly met, +So thou may’st vapour and thou may’st threat. + +“If thou hast spear and nimble hand, +I’ve claws and teeth at my command.” + +They fought for a day, they fought for two, +And so on the third they continu’d to do. + +But when to night the fourth day drew, +The bear to the earth the warrior threw. + +“Thou wilt no victory gain from me, +Thou haughty knight, thou may’st certain be. + +“I late was the son of a powerful King, +A Queen me into the world did bring. + +“My Step-dame chang’d me, as you see, +She’d ruin me to eternity. + +“About the wild forest I have run, +To the boors much scathe and violence done. + +“In winter and in summer’s tide +In peace for me they could not bide. + +“But they may thank my cruel Dame, +For ’twas through her I a bear became. + +“She plac’d around my neck so tight +An iron band in wrath and spite. + +“If thou this accursed band canst break +Thy life from thee I will not take.” + +“O I will help thee from thy thrall; +Maria’s son who has power for all + +“Will loosen from thee this stubborn band, +Full able thereto is his right hand.” + +O’er him the cross the knight did make, +The iron burst from the bruin’s neck. + +He became a youth as fair as day, +His father’s realm he went to sway. + +A noble maid awaits the knight, +The hand of the Monarch’s sister bright. + +They liv’d together in honor and joy, +To the cruel Stepdame’s great annoy. + +A hard flint rock she soon became, +For herself she earn’d both woe and shame. + + + + +TYGGE HERMANDSEN + + +Down o’er the isle in torrents fell + On a Thursday morn the rain; +To fetch his bride now forth shall ride + Sir Tygge Hermandsen. + +Sir Tygge out of the window look’d, + The brooks ran boisterously; +“To ride out now would bring me woe, + So dear no bride I’ll buy. + +“But hear thou, Nilaus Benditson, + Long shanks has thy good steed; +I beg for the love of the God above + You’ll fetch my bride with speed.” + +Then answer’d Nilaus Benditson, + In his sleeve thus answer’d he: +“If me thou dispatch thy bride to fetch + I’ll trick thee certainly.” + +It was Nilaus Benditson, + He rode the bride to meet; +There hung silk sheen and sendal green + Before his courser’s feet. + +They clad themselves in silken cloth, + And in cloth of gold beside; +In long array to the Kirk their way + They took with the youthful bride. + +The bride before the holy Kirk door + Like a blooming rose did stand; +Oft did she turn to the water, to learn + If the bridegroom was at hand. + +Then answer’d Nilaus Benditson, + He stood by the bride so close: +“The brooks so roar’d that to cross the ford + He fear’d would wet his hose.” + +They plac’d the bride on the bridal bench + With pomp and honor high; +Oft would they turn to the water to learn + If the bridegroom bold drew nigh. + +In the silver cup they skink the ale, + And the nut-brown mead they pour; +Thus things they sped till day was fled, + And until of bed the hour. + +They lifted up the youthful bride, + In the bride-bed her they set; +And there sat she for hours three, + There came no bridegroom yet. + +The priests before the bride-bed stood, + And sang with all their might: +“Who in the bed in the bridegroom’s stead + Shall sleep with the bride tonight?” + +Then forth stepp’d Nilaus Benditson, + His lac’d shoe off flung he: +“With the bride so bright I’ll sleep tonight, + And give her my troth with glee.” + +So they the bridal solemnized, + And glad themselves they made; +At home was then Tygge Hermandsen, + To cross the brooks afraid. + +It chanc’d upon a Wednesday, + The waters began to fall; +Across came then Tygge Hermandsen + With his gay bridesmen all. + +And he came to the bridal house + Where the feast was spread in state, +Then up and cried the youthful bride: + “Ride back, you come too late.” + +“Now hear, thou beauteous Sidselil, + I’ve this to complain of thee, +That thou hast ta’en another swain + And broke thy troth with me.” + +“Now hear, thou Tygge Hermandsen, + Thou might’st have been aware, +I would disdain to wed the swain + To wet his feet had fear. + +“If thou hadst been a Lady’s swain, + And hadst thou lov’d me true, +With thy sword’s stroke thou wouldst have broke + Thy way through the billows blue.” + +“To the cloyster I’ll myself betake, + And the monkish vow I’ll swear; +For good or ill, proud Sidselil, + I’ll never more come here.” + +“But if hereby thy way shall lie + When the brooks shall calmly run, +If cheeses two in my store I view + In thy sack I’ll drop thee one.” {13} + + + + +THE WICKED STEPMOTHER + + +Sir Ove he has no daughter but one, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +He bestow’d her the Lord of Elling upon. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +He bestow’d her upon a gallant knight, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Sir Stig Cob was the gallant hight. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +When a year to end had well nigh come, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_. +Two sons had Thorelil in her womb. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Hither and thither they carry the dame, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +But worse and

such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“Hear me, dear mother, canst thou rede, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +How it with Thorelil shall speed?” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“For forty weeks and a year I trow, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Thy Thorelil with child shall go.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“O mother dear, it can scarce be so, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +But forty weeks Mary with Christ did go.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“Since I no help can here obtain, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +From whence I came convey me again.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“The horses are grazing upon the moor, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +And in their beds the coachmen snore.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“If coach nor coachmen I can get, + _All underneath the green hill’s side_, +I’ll tramp on my feet through dry and wet.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Her lips the word had scarcely said, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +When the horses to the coach were led. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Stig took her so tenderly by the waist, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_. +And her in the gilded coach he plac’d. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +He set her down on the cushions gray, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +And he himself drove the coach away. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +And when they came under the green wood bough, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Her chariot broke her weight below. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“A wondrous woman I sure must be, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Since my own coach won’t carry me.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“My dearest, my dearest, be not dismay’d, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Thou back canst walk with thy husband’s aid.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +And when to the castle gate they won, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +His sister stood and lean’d thereon. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“O my dear sister, canst thou rede, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +How it with Thorelil will speed?” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Unto her coffer proud Mettelil flew, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Of wax she has fashion’d babies two. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +She drew her blue mantle o’er her head, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +And unto her mother’s bower she sped. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“From thy heart, dear mother, all sorrow chase, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +And thy grand-babes take to thy embrace.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“O I had thought with my bunch of keys, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +To overturn her bliss with ease. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +“I thought I’d bewitch’d each inch of land, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Save the spot alone where her chest doth stand.” + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +No sooner was Thorelil thither convey’d, + _All underneath a green hill’s side_, +Than of two fair sons she light was

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. + diff --git a/28817-0.zip b/28817-0.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5b8dbb4 --- /dev/null +++ b/28817-0.zip diff --git a/28817-h.zip b/28817-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ce41c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/28817-h.zip diff --git a/28817-h/28817-h.htm b/28817-h/28817-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c0c58e6 --- /dev/null +++ b/28817-h/28817-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,814 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html + PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=US-ASCII" /> +<title>The Dalby Bear, translated by George Borrow</title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + P { margin-top: .75em; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + P.gutsumm { margin-left: 5%;} + P.poetry {margin-left: 3%; } + H1, H2 { + text-align: center; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + } + H3, H4, H5 { + text-align: left; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + } + BODY{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + table { border-collapse: collapse; } +table {margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;} + td { vertical-align: top; border: 1px solid black;} + td p { margin: 0.2em; } + .blkquot {margin-left: 4em; margin-right: 4em;} /* block indent */ + + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + .pagenum {position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; + color: gray; + } + + div.gapspace { height: 0.8em; } + div.gapline { height: 0.8em; width: 30%; } + div.gapdoubleline { height: 0.3em; width: 50%; + margin-left: 25%; border-top: 1px solid; + border-bottom: 1px solid;} + div.gapshortline { height: 0.3em; width: 20%; margin-left:40%; + border-top: 1px solid; } + .citation {vertical-align: super; + font-size: .8em; + text-decoration: none;} + img.floatleft { float: left; margin-right: 1em; } + img.floatright { float: right; margin-left: 1em; } + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> +</head> +<body> +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg eBook, The Dalby Bear, by Anonymous, Edited by +Thomas J.

BORROW + + LONDON: + PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION + 1913 + + + + +THE DALBY BEAR + + +There goes a bear on Dalby moors, +Oxen and horses he devours. + +The peasants are in deep distress +The laidly bear should them oppress. + +Their heads together at length they lay, +How they the bear might seize and slay. + +They drove their porkers through the wood, +The bear turn'd round as he lay at food. + +Outspoke as best he could the bear: +"What kind of guests approach my lair?" + +Uprose the bear amain from his food, +A christian man before him stood. + +A little hour together they fought, +The bear to the earth the man has brought. + +Fast came a knight as he could make, +He heard the heart of the peasant break. + +The bear upon him fiercely glar'd; +"Thou needst not hurry, I'm prepar'd." + +"And thou by me shalt be stoutly met, +So thou may'st vapour and thou may'st threat. + +"If thou hast spear and nimble hand, +I've claws and teeth at my command." + +They fought for a day, they fought for two, +And so on the third they continu'd to do. + +But when to night the fourth day drew, +The bear to the earth the warrior threw. + +"Thou wilt no victory gain from me, +Thou haughty knight, thou may'st certain be. + +"I late was the son of a powerful King, +A Queen me into the world did bring. + +"My Step-dame chang'd me, as you see, +She'd ruin me to eternity. + +"About the wild forest I have run, +To the boors much scathe and violence done. + +"In winter and in summer's tide +In peace for me they could not bide. + +"But they may thank my cruel Dame, +For 'twas through her I a bear became. + +"She plac'd around my neck so tight +An iron band in wrath and spite. + +"If thou this accursed band canst break +Thy life from thee I will not take." + +"O I will help thee from thy thrall; +Maria's son who has power for all + +"Will loosen from thee this stubborn band, +Full able thereto is his right hand." + +O'er him the cross the knight did make, +The iron burst from the bruin's neck. + +He became a youth as fair as day, +His father's realm he went to sway. + +A noble maid awaits the knight, +The hand of the Monarch's sister bright. + +They liv'd together in honor and joy, +To the cruel Stepdame's great annoy. + +A hard flint rock she soon became, +For herself she earn'd both woe and shame. + + + + +TYGGE HERMANDSEN + + +Down o'er the isle in torrents fell + On a Thursday morn the rain; +To fetch his bride now forth shall ride + Sir Tygge Hermandsen. + +Sir Tygge out of the window look'd, + The brooks ran boisterously; +"To ride out now would bring me woe, + So dear no bride I'll buy. + +"But hear thou, Nilaus Benditson, + Long shanks has thy good steed; +I beg for the love of the God above + You'll fetch my bride with speed." + +Then answer'd Nilaus Benditson, + In his sleeve thus answer'd he: +"If me thou dispatch thy bride to fetch + I'll trick thee certainly." + +It was Nilaus Benditson, + He rode the bride to meet; +There hung silk sheen and sendal green + Before his courser's feet. + +They clad themselves in silken cloth, + And in cloth of gold beside; +In long array to the Kirk their way + They took with the youthful bride. + +The bride before the holy Kirk door + Like a blooming rose did stand; +Oft did she turn to the water, to learn + If the bridegroom was at hand. + +Then answer'd Nilaus Benditson, + He stood by the bride so close: +"The brooks so roar'd that to cross the ford + He fear'd would wet his hose." + +They plac'd the bride on the bridal bench + With pomp and honor high; +Oft would they turn to the water to learn + If the bridegroom bold drew nigh. + +In the silver cup they skink the ale, + And the nut-brown mead they pour; +Thus things they sped till day was fled, + And until of bed the hour. + +They lifted up the youthful bride, + In the bride-bed her they set; +And there sat she for hours three, + There came no bridegroom yet. + +The priests before the bride-bed stood, + And sang with all their might: +"Who in the bed in the bridegroom's stead + Shall sleep with the bride tonight?" + +Then forth stepp'd Nilaus Benditson, + His lac'd shoe off flung he: +"With the bride so bright I'll sleep tonight, + And give her my troth with glee." + +So they the bridal solemnized, + And glad themselves they made; +At home was then Tygge Hermandsen, + To cross the brooks afraid. + +It chanc'd upon a Wednesday, + The waters began to fall; +Across came then Tygge Hermandsen + With his gay bridesmen all. + +And he came to the bridal house + Where the feast was spread in state, +Then up and cried the youthful bride: + "Ride back, you come too late." + +"Now hear, thou beauteous Sidselil, + I've this to complain of thee, +That thou hast ta'en another swain + And broke thy troth with me." + +"Now hear, thou Tygge Hermandsen, + Thou might'st have been aware, +I would disdain to wed the swain + To wet his feet had fear. + +"If thou hadst been a Lady's swain, + And hadst thou lov'd me true, +With thy sword's stroke thou wouldst have broke + Thy way through the billows blue." + +"To the cloyster I'll myself betake, + And the monkish vow I'll swear; +For good or ill, proud Sidselil, + I'll never more come here." + +"But if hereby thy way shall lie + When the brooks shall calmly run, +If cheeses two in my store I view + In thy sack I'll drop thee one." {13} + + + + +THE WICKED STEPMOTHER + +

scarce be so, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +But forty weeks Mary with Christ did go." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"Since I no help can here obtain, + _All underneath

their beds the coachmen snore." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"If coach nor coachmen I can get, + _All underneath the green hill's side_, +I'll tramp on my feet through dry and wet." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Her lips the word had scarcely said, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +When the horses to the coach were led. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Stig took her so tenderly by the waist, + _All underneath a green hill's side_. +And her in the gilded coach he plac'd. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +He set her down on the cushions gray, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +And he himself drove the coach away. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +And when they came under the green wood bough, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +Her chariot broke her weight below. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"A wondrous woman I sure must be, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +Since my own coach won't carry me." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"My dearest, my dearest, be not dismay'd, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +Thou back canst walk with thy husband's aid." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +And when to the castle gate they won, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +His sister stood and lean'd thereon. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"O my dear sister, canst thou rede, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +How it with Thorelil will speed?" + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +Unto her coffer proud Mettelil flew, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +Of wax she has fashion'd babies two. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +She drew her blue mantle o'er her head, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +And unto her mother's bower she sped. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"From thy heart, dear mother, all sorrow chase, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +And thy grand-babes take to thy embrace." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"O I had thought with my bunch of keys, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +To overturn her bliss with ease. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"I thought I'd bewitch'd each inch of land, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +Save the spot alone where her chest doth stand." + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +No sooner was Thorelil thither convey'd, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +Than of two fair sons she light was made. + _In such peril through the forest they ride_. + +"O God grant me so long to breathe, + _All underneath a green hill's side_, +That parting presents I may bequeath. + _In such peril through the

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. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

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: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +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.

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. + diff --git a/28817.zip b/28817.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..af3554f --- /dev/null +++ b/28817.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
