+ +“Here sit ye all my Danish swains + On whom I bread bestow, +Now which of ye will risk his life + To lay the Berner low? + +“I’ll give to him my daughter dear, + The wondrous lovely may, +Who in the ring with Jutt of Bern + Shall dare the desperate fray.” + +In silence all the kempions sat, + None dared reply a word, +Except alone Orm Ungerswayne, + The lowest at the board. + +Except alone Orm Ungerswayne, + He bounded o’er the board: +I tell to ye in verity + He spake a manly word. + +“Wilt thou to me thy daughter give, + And divide with me thy land? +O then will I the kempion be, + Against the Jutt to stand. + +“And well will I your daughter win, + And the prize alone will earn; +I am the lad to dare the fray + In the ring with the Jutt of Bern.” + +It was the lofty Jutt of Bern + He o’er his shoulder glar’d: +“O who may yonder mouseling be, + From whom those words I heard?” + +“No mouseling I, though call me, Jutt, + A mouseling if you will, +My father was good Sigurd King + Who slumbers in his hill.” + +“Ha! was thy sire good Sigurd King? + Thou’st something of his face, +Thou hast sprung up full wondrously + In fifteen winter’s space.” + +It was so late at evening tide + The sun had reached the wave, +When Orm the youthful swain set out + To seek his father’s grave. + +It was the hour when grooms do ride + The coursers to the rill, +That Orm set out resolved to wake + The dead man in the hill. + +Now strikes the bold Orm Ungerswayne + The hill with such a might, +It was I ween a miracle + It tumbled not outright. + +Then stamped upon the hill so hard + Young Orm with heavy foot, +The arch was broke within the hill + Which trembled to its root. + +Then from the hill Orm’s father cried, + Where he so long had lain: +“O cannot I in quiet lie + Within my murky den? + +“Who dares so early break my rest, + And troubleth thus my bones? +Cannot I in quiet lie + Beneath my roof of stones? + +“Who seeks at night the dead man’s hill + And works this ruin all? +Let him fear for now I swear + By Birting he shall fall.” + +“I am thy son, thy youngest son, + Thy Orm, O father dear; +To beg a boon in mighty need + I come to seek thee here.” + +“If thou art Orm my youngest son, + The kempion bold and brave, +Last year I gave to thee of gold, + All, all thy heart could crave.” + +“Last year you gave me store of gold + On which I set no worth, +Now I this year must Birting have, + The bravest sword on earth.” + +“Never shalt thou Birting get + To win the Monarch’s daughter, +Until to Ireland thou hast been + To ’venge thy father’s slaughter.” + +“Give to me the Birting sword, + And with it bid me thrive, +Or I the hill above thee will + To thousand pieces rive.” + +“Stretch thou down thy hand and take + My Birting from my side, +But if thou break thy father’s hill + Much woe will thee betide.” + +He cast to him the sword, its point + Appeared above the mould: +“Save good fate on thee shall wait + I ne’er shall be consol’d.” + +He reached to him the sword, and placed + Its hilt within his grasp: +“Beneath its blows may all thy foes + Before thee sink and grasp.” + +Then took the sword Orm Ungerswayne, + And on his shoulder plac’d; +And to the Monarch’s hall he sped, + As fast as he could haste. + +It was the lofty Jutt of Bern + With wrath was nearly wild: +“It ill becomes a man like me + To battle with a child.” + +“Although I be but little, Jutt, + A fearless heart I keep, +And oftentimes a little hand + O’erturns a mighty heap.” + +For two long days they fought, and when + The third to evening tended, +“Methinks,” exclaim’d the Berner Jutt, + “This fight will ne’er be ended.” + +It was bold Orm Ungerswayne + His good sword brandish’d he, +And of the lofty Berner Jutt + Asunder cut the knee. + +Loud bellowed then the Berner Jutt, + And loud he fell to ban: +“It ne’er was warrior custom yet + So low to strike one’s man.” + +“I was small, and thou wast tall, + Thy prowess I admire; +I only struck thy knee because + I could not reach thee higher.” + +Then took the bold Orm Ungerswayne + His faulchion on his back, +And to the ocean strand he goes + As fast as he could make. + +It was bold Orm Ungerswayne + He paced the yellow sand, +And lo! Sir Tord of Valland came + Swift sailing to the land. + +Foremost upon the gilded prow + The Tord of Valland stands: +“O who is yonder little man + That walks upon the sands?” + +“O I am Orm, the youthful swain, + A kempion bold and fine; +’Twas I that slew the Berner Jutt, + That uncle dear of thine.” + +“If thou hast slain the Berner Jutt, + That uncle dear of mine, +’Twas I the King of Ireland slew, + Beloved father thine.” + +It was Tord of Valland then + With faulchion struck the earth: +“Never will I make amends + By gold or money’s worth.” + +It was bold Orm Ungerswayne, + He grasped his faulchion’s hilt: +“In vengeance for my father then + Shall valiant blood be spilt.” + +It was the bold Orm Ungerswayne + He drew his trusty sword, +And at a single blow smote off + The head of Valland’s Tord. + +Valland’s Tord he slew, and then + His followers every one; +Then speeds he to the monarch’s house + To claim the maid he’d won. + +Then took the bold Orm Ungerswayne + The Atheling in his arm: +“Thou art my own, fair maid, for thee + I have confronted harm.” + +O’er Helmer Isle the tidings run + As fast as levin fire, +That Orm the lovely maid has won, + And has avenged his sire. + + * * * * * + + LONDON: + Printed for THOMAS J.

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.

The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541.

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. 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. + diff --git a/28818-0.zip b/28818-0.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..767150d --- /dev/null +++ b/28818-0.zip diff --git a/28818-h.zip b/28818-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5c12a3f --- /dev/null +++ b/28818-h.zip diff --git a/28818-h/28818-h.htm b/28818-h/28818-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2446d97 --- /dev/null +++ b/28818-h/28818-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,692 @@ +<!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 Giant of Bern and Orm Ungerswayne, 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 Giant of Bern and Orm Ungerswayne, by +Anonymous, Edited by Thomas J.

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.

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. + +</pre></body> +</html> diff --git a/28818.txt b/28818.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5e1f35f --- /dev/null +++ b/28818.txt @@ -0,0 +1,680 @@ +The Project Gutenberg eBook, The Giant of Bern and Orm Ungerswayne, by +Anonymous, Edited by Thomas J.

+ +"Here sit ye all my Danish swains + On whom I bread bestow, +Now which of ye will risk his life + To lay the Berner low? + +"I'll give to him my daughter dear, + The wondrous lovely may, +Who in the ring with Jutt of Bern + Shall dare the desperate fray." + +In silence all the kempions sat, + None dared reply a word, +Except alone Orm Ungerswayne, + The lowest at the board. + +Except alone Orm Ungerswayne, + He bounded o'er the board: +I tell to ye in verity + He spake a manly word. + +"Wilt thou to me thy daughter give, + And divide with me thy land? +O then will I the kempion be, + Against the Jutt to stand. + +"And well will I your daughter win, + And the prize alone will earn; +I am the lad to dare the fray + In the ring with the Jutt of Bern." + +It was the lofty Jutt of Bern + He o'er his shoulder glar'd: +"O who may yonder mouseling be, + From whom those words I heard?" + +"No mouseling I, though call me, Jutt, + A mouseling if you will, +My father was good Sigurd King + Who slumbers in his hill." + +"Ha! was thy sire good Sigurd King? + Thou'st something of his face, +Thou hast sprung up full wondrously + In fifteen winter's space." + +It was so late at evening tide + The sun had reached the wave, +When Orm the youthful swain set out + To seek his father's grave. + +It was the hour when grooms do ride + The coursers to the rill, +That Orm set out resolved to wake + The dead man in the hill. + +Now strikes the bold Orm Ungerswayne + The hill with such a might, +It was I ween a miracle + It tumbled not outright. + +Then stamped upon the hill so hard + Young Orm with heavy foot, +The arch was broke within the hill + Which trembled to its root. + +Then from the hill Orm's father cried, + Where he so long had lain: +"O cannot I in quiet lie + Within my murky den? + +"Who dares so early break my rest, + And troubleth thus my bones? +Cannot I in quiet lie + Beneath my roof of stones? + +"Who seeks at night the dead man's hill + And works this ruin all? +Let him fear for now I swear + By Birting he shall fall." + +"I am thy son, thy youngest son, + Thy Orm, O father dear; +To beg a boon in mighty need + I come to seek thee here." + +"If thou art Orm my youngest son, + The kempion bold and brave, +Last year I gave to thee of gold, + All, all thy heart could crave." + +"Last year you gave me store of gold + On which I set no worth, +Now I this year must Birting have, + The bravest sword on earth." + +"Never shalt thou Birting get + To win the Monarch's daughter, +Until to Ireland thou hast been + To 'venge thy father's slaughter." + +"Give to me the Birting sword, + And with it bid me thrive, +Or I the hill above thee will + To thousand pieces rive." + +"Stretch thou down thy hand and take + My Birting from my side, +But if thou break thy father's hill + Much woe will thee betide." + +He cast to him the sword, its point + Appeared above the mould: +"Save good fate on thee shall wait + I ne'er shall be consol'd." + +He reached to him the sword, and placed + Its hilt within his grasp: +"Beneath its blows may all thy foes + Before thee sink and grasp." + +Then took the sword Orm Ungerswayne, + And on his shoulder plac'd; +And to the Monarch's hall he sped, + As fast as he could haste. + +It was the lofty Jutt of Bern + With wrath was nearly wild: +"It ill becomes a man like me + To battle with a child." + +"Although I be but little, Jutt, + A fearless heart I keep, +And oftentimes a little hand + O'erturns a mighty heap." + +For two long days they fought, and when + The third to evening tended, +"Methinks," exclaim'd the Berner Jutt, + "This fight will ne'er be ended." + +It was bold Orm Ungerswayne + His good sword brandish'd he, +And of the lofty Berner Jutt + Asunder cut the knee. + +Loud bellowed then the Berner Jutt, + And loud he fell to ban: +"It ne'er was warrior custom yet + So low to strike one's man." + +"I was small, and thou wast tall, + Thy prowess I admire; +I only struck thy knee because + I could not reach thee higher." + +Then took the bold Orm Ungerswayne + His faulchion on his back, +And to the ocean strand he goes + As fast as he could make. + +It was bold Orm Ungerswayne + He paced the yellow sand, +And lo! Sir Tord of Valland came + Swift sailing to the land. + +Foremost upon the gilded prow + The Tord of Valland stands: +"O who is yonder little man + That walks upon the sands?" + +"O I am Orm, the youthful swain, + A kempion bold and fine; +'Twas I that slew the Berner Jutt, + That uncle dear of thine." + +"If thou hast slain the Berner Jutt, + That uncle dear of mine, +'Twas I the King of Ireland slew, + Beloved father thine." + +It was Tord of Valland then + With faulchion struck the earth: +"Never will I make amends + By gold or money's worth." + +It was bold Orm Ungerswayne, + He grasped his faulchion's hilt: +"In vengeance for my father then + Shall valiant blood be spilt." + +It was the bold Orm Ungerswayne + He drew his trusty sword, +And at a single blow smote off + The head of Valland's Tord. + +Valland's Tord he slew, and then + His followers every one; +Then speeds he to the monarch's house + To claim the maid he'd won. + +Then took the bold Orm Ungerswayne + The Atheling in his arm: +"Thou art my own, fair maid, for thee + I have confronted harm." + +O'er Helmer Isle the tidings run + As fast as levin fire, +That Orm the lovely maid has won, + And has avenged his sire. + + * * * * * + + LONDON: + Printed for THOMAS J.
