But even the latter -do not insist on its being the work of a modern fabricator. They -allow it to be one hundred, or perhaps one hundred and fifty, years -old. If they admit that, I do not see why they refuse it a greater -antiquity; and as to the improbability of the stories related in it, -I refer the reader to the exhaustive inquiry in Dr Ottema's Preface. - -Is it more difficult to believe that the early Frisians, being hardy -and intrepid marine adventurers, sailed to the Mediterranean, and -even proceeded farther, than that the Phoenicians sailed to England -for tin, and to the Baltic for amber? or that a clever woman became a -lawgiver at Athens, than that a goddess sprang, full grown and armed, -from the cleft skull of Jupiter? - -There is nothing in the narratives of this book inconsistent with -probability, however they may vary from some of our preconceived -ideas; but whether it is really what it pretends to be--a very ancient -manuscript, or a more modern fiction--it is not the less a most curious -and interesting work, and as such I offer it to the British public. - -In order to give an idea of the manuscript, I have procured photographs -of two of its pages, which are bound with this volume. - -I have also followed Dr Ottema's plan of printing the original Frisian -opposite to the translation, so that any reader possessing a knowledge -of the language may verify the correctness of the translation. - -In addition to the Preface which I have translated, Dr Ottema -has written two pamphlets on the subject of the Oera Linda Book -(1. Historical Notes and Explanations; 2. The Royal Academy and Het -Oera Linda Bok), both of which would be very valuable to any one who -wished to study the controversy respecting the authenticity of the -work, but which I have not thought it necessary to translate for the -present publication. - -There has also appeared in the "Deventer Courant" a series of twelve -letters on the same subject. Though written anonymously, I believe -they are from the pen of Professor Vitringa. They have been translated -into German by Mr Otto. - -The writer evidently entered upon his task of criticism with a feeling -of disbelief in the authenticity of the book; but in his last letter -he admits that, after a minute examination, he is unable to pronounce -a positive conviction either for or against it. - -His concluding remarks are to the following effect:-- - -"If the book is a romance, then I must admit that it has been written -with a good object, and by a clever man, because the sentiments -expressed in it are of a highly moral tendency; and the facts -related, so far as they can be controlled by regular history, are -not untruthful; and where they deal with events of which we have no -historical records, they do not offend our ideas of possibility or -even probability." - - - Wm. R. Sandbach. - - - - - - -INTRODUCTION. - - -C. over de Linden, Chief Superintendent of the Royal Dockyard at -the Helder, possesses a very ancient manuscript, which has been -inherited and preserved in his family from time immemorial, without -any one knowing whence it came or what it contained, owing to both -the language and the writing being unknown. - -All that was known was that a tradition contained in it had from -generation to generation been recommended to careful preservation. It -appeared that the tradition rests upon the contents of two letters, -with which the manuscript begins, from Hiddo oera Linda, anno 1256, -and from Liko oera Linda, anno 803. It came to C. over de Linden by -the directions of his grandfather, Den Heer Andries over de Linden, -who lived at Enkhuizen, and died there on the 15th of April 1820, -aged sixty-one. As the grandson was at that time barely ten years old, -the manuscript was taken care of for him by his aunt, Aafje Meylhoff, -born Over de Linden, living at Enkhuizen, who in August 1848 delivered -it to the present possessor. - -Dr E. Verwijs having heard of this, requested permission to examine the -manuscript, and immediately recognised it as very ancient Fries. He -obtained at the same time permission to make a copy of it for the -benefit of the Friesland Society, and was of opinion that it might -be of great importance, provided it was not supposititious, and -invented for some deceptive object, which he feared. The manuscript -being placed in my hands, I also felt very doubtful, though I could -not understand what object any one could have in inventing a false -composition only to keep it a secret. This doubt remained until -I had examined carefully-executed facsimiles of two fragments, and -afterwards of the whole manuscript--the first sight of which convinced -me of the great age of the document. - -Immediately occurred to me Cæsar's remark upon the writing of the -Gauls and the Helvetians in his "Bello Gallico" (i. 29, and vi. 14), -"Græcis utuntur literis," though it appears in v. 48 that they were not -entirely Greek letters. Cæsar thus points out only a resemblance--and -a very true one--as the writing, which does not altogether correspond -with any known form of letters, resembles the most, on a cursory -view, the Greek writing, such as is found on monuments and the oldest -manuscripts, and belongs to the form which is called lapidary. Besides, -I formed the opinion afterwards that the writer of the latter part -of the book had been a contemporary of Cæsar. - -The form and the origin of the writing is so minutely and fully -described in the first part of the book, as it could not be in any -other language. It is very complete, and consists of thirty-four -letters, among which are three separate forms of a and u, and two of -e, i, y, and o, besides four pairs of double consonants--ng, th, ks, -and gs. The ng, which as a nasal sound has no particular mark in any -other Western language, is an indivisible conjunction; the th is soft, -as in English, and is sometimes replaced by d; the gs is seldom met -with--I believe only in the word segse, to say, in modern Fries sidse, -pronounced sisze. - -The paper, of large quarto size, is made of cotton, not very thick, -without water-mark or maker's mark, made upon a frame or wire-web, -with not very broad perpendicular lines. - -An introductory letter gives the year 1256 as that in which -this manuscript was written by Hiddo overa Linda on foreign -paper. Consequently it must have come from Spain, where the Arabs -brought into the market paper manufactured from cotton. - -On this subject, W. Wattenbach writes in his "Das Schriftwesen im -Mittelalter" (Leipzig, 1871), s. 93:-- - -"The manufacture of paper from cotton must have been in use among the -Chinese from very remote times, and must have become known to the -Arabs by the conquest of Samarcand about the year 704. In Damascus -this manufacture was an important branch of industry, for which reason -it was called Charta Damascena. By the Arabians this art was brought -to the Greeks. It is asserted that Greek manuscripts of the tenth -century written upon cotton paper exist, and that in the thirteenth -century it was much more used than parchment. To distinguish it from -Egyptian paper it was called Charta bombicina, gossypina, cuttunea, -xylina. A distinction from linen paper was not yet necessary. In the -manufacture of the cotton paper raw cotton was originally used. We -first find paper from rags mentioned by Petrus Clusiacensis (1122-50). - -"The Spaniards and the Italians learned the manufacture of this paper -from the Arabians. The most celebrated factories were at Jativa, -Valencia, Toledo, besides Fabriano in the March of Ancona." [1] - -In Germany the use of this material did not become very extended, -whether it came from Italy or Spain. Therefore the further this -preparation spread from the East and the adjoining countries, -the more necessity there was that linen should take the place of -cotton. A document of Kaufbeuren on linen paper of the year 1318 -is of very doubtful genuineness. Bodman considers the oldest pure -linen paper to be of the year 1324, but up to 1350 much mixed paper -was used. All carefully-written manuscripts of great antiquity show -by the regularity of their lines that they must have been ruled, -even though no traces of the ruled lines can be distinguished. To -make the lines they used a thin piece of lead, a ruler, and a pair -of compasses to mark the distances. - -In old writings the ink is very black or brown; but while there has -been more writing since the thirteenth century, the colour of the ink -is often grey or yellowish, and sometimes quite pale, showing that it -contains iron. All this affords convincing proof that the manuscript -before us belongs to the middle of the thirteenth century, written with -clear black letters between fine lines carefully traced with lead. The -colour of the ink shows decidedly that it does not contain iron. By -these evidences the date given, 1256, is satisfactorily proved, and -it is impossible to assign any later date. Therefore all suspicion -of modern deception vanishes. - -The language is very old Fries, still older and purer than the Fries -Rjuchtboek or old Fries laws, differing from that both in form and -spelling, so that it appears to be an entirely distinct dialect, -and shows that the locality of the language must have been (as it -was spoken) between the Vlie and the Scheldt. - -The style is extremely simple, concise, and unembarrassed, resembling -that of ordinary conversation, and free in the choice of the words. The -spelling is also simple and easy, so that the reading of it does -not involve the least difficulty, and yet with all its regularity, -so unrestricted, that each of the separate writers who have worked -at the book has his own peculiarities, arising from the changes in -pronunciation in a long course of years, which naturally must have -happened, as the last part of the work is written five centuries -after the first. - -As a specimen of antiquity in language and writing, I believe I may -venture to say that this book is unique of its kind. - -The writing suggests an observation which may be of great importance. - -The Greeks know and acknowledge that their writing was not their -own invention. They attribute the introduction of it to Kadmus, a -Phenician. The names of their oldest letters, from Alpha to Tau, agree -so exactly with the names of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, with -which the Phenician will have been nearly connected, that we cannot -doubt that the Hebrew was the origin of the Phenician. But the form -of their letters differs so entirely from that of the Phenician and -Hebrew writing, that in that particular no connection can be thought -of between them. Whence, then, have the Greeks derived the form of -their letters? - -From "thet bok thêra Adela folstar" ("The Book of Adela's Followers") -we learn that in the time when Kadmus is said to have lived, about -sixteen centuries before Christ, a brisk trade existed between the -Frisians and the Phenicians, whom they named Kadhemar, or dwellers -on the coast. - -The name Kadmus comes too near the word Kadhemar for us not to believe -that Kadmus simply meant a Phenician. - -Further on we learn that about the same time a priestess of the castle -in the island of Walcheren, Min-erva, also called Nyhellenia, had -settled in Attica at the head of a Frisian colony, and had founded -a castle at Athens. Also, from the accounts written on the walls of -Waraburch, that the Finns likewise had a writing of their own--a -very troublesome and difficult one to read--and that, therefore, -the Tyrians and the Greeks had learned the writing of Frya. By this -representation the whole thing explains itself, and it becomes clear -whence comes the exterior resemblance between the Greek and the old -Fries writing, which Cæsar also remarked among the Gauls; as likewise -in what manner the Greeks acquired and retained the names of the Finn -and the forms of the Fries writing. - -Equally remarkable are the forms of their figures. We usually call -our figures Arabian, although they have not the least resemblance -to those used by the Arabs. The Arabians did not bring their ciphers -from the East, because the Semitic nations used the whole alphabet in -writing numbers. The manner of expressing all numbers by ten signs -the Arabs learned in the West, though the form was in some measure -corresponding with their writing, and was written from left to right, -after the Western fashion. Our ciphers seem here to have sprung from -the Fries ciphers (siffar), which form had the same origin as the -handwriting, and is derived from the lines of the Juul? - -The book as it lies before us consists of two parts, differing widely -from each other, and of dates very far apart. The writer of the -first part calls herself Adela, wife of Apol, chief man of the Linda -country. This is continued by her son Adelbrost, and her daughter -Apollonia. The first book, running from page 1 to 88, is written by -Adela. The following part, from 88 to 94, is begun by Adelbrost and -continued by Apollonia. The second book, running from page 94 to 114, -is written by Apollonia. Much later, perhaps two hundred and fifty -years, a third book is written, from page 114 to 134, by Frethorik; -then follows from page 134 to 143, written by his widow, Wiljow; -after that from page 144 to 169 by their son, Konereed; and then -from page 169 to 192 by their grandson, Beeden. Pages 193 and 194, -with which the last part must have begun, are wanting, therefore the -writer is unknown. He may probably have been a son of Beeden. - -On page 134, Wiljow makes mention of another writing of Adela. These -she names "thet bok thêra sanga (thet boek), thêra tellinga," and "thet -Hellênia bok;" and afterwards "tha skrifta fon Adela jeftha Hellênia." - -To fix the date we must start from the year 1256 of our era, when Hiddo -overa Linda made the copy, in which he says that it was 3449 years -after Atland was sunk. This disappearance of the old land (âldland, -âtland) was known by the Greeks, for Plato mentions in his "Timæus," -24, the disappearance of Atlantis, the position of which was only known -as somewhere far beyond the Pillars of Hercules. From this writing it -appears that it was land stretching far out to the west of Jutland, -of which Heligoland and the islands of North Friesland are the last -barren remnants. This event, which occasioned a great dispersion of -the Frisian race, became the commencement of a chronological reckoning -corresponding with 2193 before Christ, and is known by geologists as -the Cimbrian flood. - -On page 80 begins an account in the year 1602, after the disappearance -of Atland, and thus in the year 591 before Christ; and on page 82 is -the account of the murder of Frâna, "Eeremoeder," of Texland two years -later--that is, in 589. When, therefore, Adela commences her writing -with her own coming forward in an assembly of the people thirty years -after the murder of the Eeremoeder, that must have been in the year -559 before Christ. In the part written by her daughter Apollonia, we -find that fifteen months after the assembly Adela was killed by the -Finns in an attack by surprise of Texland. This must accordingly have -happened 557 years before Christ. Hence it follows that the first book, -written by Adela, was of the year 558 before Christ. The second book, -by Apollonia, we may assign to about the year 530 before Christ. The -latter part contains the history of the known kings of Friesland, -Friso, Adel (Ubbo), and Asega Askar, called Black Adel. Of the third -king, Ubbo, nothing is said, or rather that part is lost, as the pages -169 to 188 are missing. Frethorik, the first writer, who appears now, -was a contemporary of the occurrences which he relates, namely, -the arrival of Friso. He was a friend of Liudgert den Geertman, -who, as rear-admiral of the fleet of Wichhirte, the sea-king, had -come with Friso in the year 303 before Christ, 1890 years after the -disappearance of Atland. He has borrowed most of his information from -the log-book of Liudgert. - -The last writer gives himself out most clearly as a contemporary of -Black Adel or Askar, about the middle of his reign, which Furmerius -states to have been from 70 before Christ to 11 after the birth of -Christ, the same period as Julius Cæsar and Augustus. He therefore -wrote in the middle of the last century before Christ, and knew of -the conquest of Gaul by the Romans. It is thus evident that there -elapsed fully two centuries between the two parts of the work. - -Of the Gauls we read on page 84 that they were called the "Missionaries -of Sydon." And on page 124 "that the Gauls are Druids." The Gauls, -then, were Druids, and the name Galli, used for the whole nation, -was really only the name of an order of priesthood brought from the -East, just as among the Romans the Galli were priests of Cybele. - - - -The whole contents of the book are in all respects new. That is to -say, there is nothing in it that we were acquainted with before. What -we here read of Friso, Adel, and Askar differs entirely from what -is related by our own chroniclers, or rather presents it in quite -another light. For instance, they all relate that Friso came from -India, and that thus the Frisians were of Indian descent; and yet -they add that Friso was a German, and belonged to a Persian race which -Herodotus called Germans (Germanioi). According to the statement in -this book, Friso did come from India, and with the fleet of Nearchus; -but he is not therefore an Indian. He is of Frisian origin, of Frya's -people. He belongs, in fact, to a Frisian colony which after the death -of Nijhellênia, fifteen and a half centuries before Christ, under the -guidance of a priestess Geert, settled in the Punjab, and took the -name of Geertmen. The Geertmen were known by only one of the Greek -writers, Strabo, who mentions them as Germanes, differing totally -and entirely from the Brachmanes in manners, language, and religion. - -The historians of Alexander's expeditions do not speak of Frisians -or Geertmen, though they mention Indoscythians, thereby describing -a people who live in India, but whose origin is in the distant, -unknown North. - -In the accounts of Liudgert no names are given of places where the -Frieslanders lived in India. We only know that they first established -themselves to the east of the Punjab, and afterwards moved to the -west of those rivers. It is mentioned, moreover, as a striking -fact, that in the summer the sun at midday was straight above their -heads. They therefore lived within the tropics. We find in Ptolemy -(see the map of Kiepert), exactly 24° N. on the west side of the Indus, -the name Minnagara; and about six degrees east of that, in 22° N., -another Minnagara. This name is pure Fries, the same as Walhallagara, -Folsgara, and comes from Minna, the name of an Eeremoeder, in whose -time the voyages of Teunis and his nephew Inca took place. - -The coincidence is too remarkable to be accidental, and not to -prove that Minnagara was the headquarters of the Frisian colony. The -establishment of the colonists in the Punjab in 1551 before Christ, -and their journey thither, we find fully described in Adela's book; -and with the mention of one most remarkable circumstance, namely, -that the Frisian mariners sailed through the strait which in those -times still ran into the Red Sea. - -In Strabo, book i. pages 38 and 50, it appears that Eratosthenes -was acquainted with the existence of the strait, of which the later -geographers make no mention. It existed still in the time of Moses -(Exodus xiv. 2), for he encamped at Pi-ha-chiroht, the "mouth of the -strait." Moreover, Strabo mentions that Sesostris made an attempt -to cut through the isthmus, but that he was not able to accomplish -it. That in very remote times the sea really did flow through is proved -by the result of the geological investigations on the isthmus made by -the Suez Canal Commission, of which M. Renaud presented a report to -the Academy of Sciences on the 19th June 1856. In that report, among -other things, appears the following: "Une question fort controversée -est celle de savoir, si à l'époque où les Hebreux fuyaient de l'Egypte -sous la conduite de Moïse, les lacs amers faisaient encore partie -de la mer rouge. Cette dernière hypothèse s'accorderait mieux que -l'hypothèse contraire avec le texte des livres sacrés, mais alors -il faudrait admettre que depuis l'époque de Moïse le seuil de Suez -serait sorti des eaux." - -With regard to this question, it is certainly of importance to fall -in with an account in this Frisian manuscript, from which it seems -that in the sixteenth century before Christ the connection between -the Bitter Lakes and the Red Sea still existed, and that the strait -was still navigable. The manuscript further states that soon after -the passage of the Geertmen there was an earthquake; that the land -rose so high that all the water ran out, and all the shallows and -alluvial lands rose up like a wall. This must have happened after the -time of Moses, so that at the date of the Exodus (1564 B.C.) the track -between Suez and the Bitter Lakes was still navigable, but could be -forded dry-foot at low water. - -This point, then, is the commencement of the isthmus, after the forming -of which, the northern inlet was certainly soon filled up as far as -the Gulf of Pelusium. - -The map by Louis Figuier, in the "Année scientifique et industrielle" -(première année), Paris, Hachette, 1857, gives a distinct illustration -of the formation of this land. - -Another statement, which occurs only in Strabo, finds also here a -confirmation. Strabo alone of all the Greek writers relates that -Nearchus, after he had landed his troops in the Persian Gulf, at the -mouth of the Pasitigris, sailed out of the Persian Gulf by Alexander's -command, and steered round Arabia through the Arabian Gulf. As -the account stands, it is not clear what Nearchus had to do there, -and what the object of the further voyage was. If, as Strabo seems -to think, it was only for geographical discovery, he need not have -taken the whole fleet. One or two ships would have sufficed. We do -not read that he returned. Where, then, did he remain with that fleet? - -The answer to this question is to be found in the Frisian version of -the story. Alexander had bought the ships on the Indus, or had had -them built by the descendants of the Frisians who settled there--the -Geertmen--and had taken into his service sailors from among them, and -at the head of them was Friso. Alexander having accomplished his voyage -and the transport of his troops, had no further use for the ships in -the Persian Gulf, but wished to employ them in the Mediterranean. He -had taken that idea into his head, and it must be carried into -effect. He wished to do what no one had done before him. For this -purpose Nearchus was to sail up the Red Sea, and on his arrival at -Suez was to find 200 elephants, 1000 camels, workmen and materials, -timber and ropes, &c., in order to haul the ships by land over the -isthmus. This work was carried on and accomplished with so much zeal -and energy that after three months' labour the fleet was launched in -the Mediterranean. That the fleet really came to the Mediterranean -appears in Plutarch's "Life of Alexander;" but he makes Nearchus -bring the fleet round Africa, and sail through the Pillars of Hercules. - -After the defeat at Actium, Cleopatra, in imitation of this example, -tried to take her fleet over the isthmus in order to escape to India, -but was prevented by the inhabitants of Arabia Petræa, who burnt her -ships. (See Plutarch's "Life of Antony.") When Alexander shortly -afterwards died, Friso remained in the service of Antigonus and -Demetrius, until, having been grievously insulted by the latter, he -resolved to seek out with his sailors their fatherland, Friesland. To -India he could not, indeed, return. - -Thus these accounts chime in with and clear up each other, and in -that way afford a mutual confirmation of the events. - -Such simple narratives and surprising results led me to conclude that -we had to do here with more than mere Saga and Legends. - -Since the last twenty years attention has been directed to the -remains of the dwellings on piles, first observed in the Swiss lakes, -and afterwards in other parts of Europe. (See Dr E. Rückert, "Die -Pfahlbauten;" Würzburg, 1869. Dr T. C. Winkler, in the "Volksalmanak," -t. N. v. A. 1867.) When they were found, endeavours were made to -discover, by the existing fragments of arms, tools, and household -articles, by whom and when these dwellings had been inhabited. There -are no accounts of them in historical writers, beyond what Herodotus -writes in book v. chapter 16, of the "Paeonen." The only trace that -has been found is in one of the panels of Trajan's Pillar, in which -the destruction of a pile village in Dacia is represented. - -Doubly important, therefore, is it to learn from the writing -of Apollonia that she, as "Burgtmaagd" (chief of the virgins), -about 540 years before Christ, made a journey up the Rhine to -Switzerland, and there became acquainted with the Lake Dwellers -(Marsaten). She describes their dwellings built upon piles--the -people themselves--their manners and customs. She relates that they -lived by fishing and hunting, and that they prepared the skins of the -animals with the bark of the birch-tree in order to sell the furs -to the Rhine boatmen, who brought them into commerce. This account -of the pile dwellings in the Swiss lakes can only have been written -in the time when these dwellings still existed and were lived in. In -the second part of the writing, Konerêd oera Linda relates that Adel, -the son of Friso (±250 years before Christ), visited the pile dwellings -in Switzerland with his wife Ifkja. - -Later than this account there is no mention by any writer whatever of -the pile dwellings, and the subject has remained for twenty centuries -utterly unknown until 1853, when an extraordinary low state of the -water led to the discovery of these dwellings. Therefore no one could -have invented this account in the intervening period. Although a great -portion of the first part of the work--the book of Adela--belongs to -the mythological period before the Trojan war, there is a striking -difference between it and the Greek myths. The Myths have no dates, -much less any chronology, nor any internal coherence of successive -events. The untrammelled fancy develops itself in every poem separately -and independently. The mythological stories contradict each other on -every point. "Les Mythes ne se tiennent pas," is the only key to the -Greek Mythology. - -Here, on the contrary, we meet with a regular succession of dates -starting from a fixed period--the destruction of Atland, 2193 -before Christ. The accounts are natural and simple, often naïve, -never contradict each other, and are always consistent with each -other in time and place. As, for instance, the arrival and sojourn -of Ulysses with the Burgtmaagd Kalip at Walhallagara (Walcheren), -which is the most mythical portion of all, is here said to be 1005 -years after the disappearance of Atland, which coincides with 1188 -years before Christ, and thus agrees very nearly with the time at -which the Greeks say the Trojan war took place. The story of Ulysses -was not brought here for the first time by the Romans. Tacitus found -it already in Lower Germany (see "Germania," cap. 3), and says that -at Asciburgium there was an altar on which the names of Ulysses and -his father Laërtes were inscribed. - -Another remarkable difference consists in this, that the Myths know -no origin, do not name either writers or relaters of their stories, -and therefore never can bring forward any authority. Whereas in -Adela's book, for every statement is given a notice where it was -found or whence it was taken. For instance, "This comes from Minno's -writings--this is written on the walls of Waraburch--this in the town -of Frya--this at Stavia--this at Walhallagara." - -There is also this further. Laws, regular legislative enactments, such -as are found in great numbers in Adela's book, are utterly unknown -in Mythology, and indeed are irreconcilable with its existence. Even -when the Myth attributes to Minos the introduction of lawgiving in -Crete, it does not give the least account of what the legislation -consisted in. Also among the Gods of Mythology there existed no system -of laws. The only law was unchangable Destiny and the will of the -supreme Zeus. - -With regard to Mythology, this writing, which bears no -mythical character, is not less remarkable than with regard to -history. Notwithstanding the frequent and various relations with -Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, we do not find any traces of acquaintance -with the Northern or Scandinavian Mythology. Only Wodin appears in the -person of Wodan, a chief of the Frisians, who became the son-in-law -of one Magy, King of the Finns, and after his death was deified. - -The Frisian religion is extremely simple, and pure Monotheism. Wr-alda -or Wr-alda's spirit is the only eternal, unchangeable, perfect, and -almighty being. Wr-alda has created everything. Out of him proceeds -everything--first the beginning, then time, and afterwards Irtha, -the Earth. Irtha bore three daughters--Lyda, Finda, and Frya--the -mothers of the three distinct races, black, yellow, and white--Africa, -Asia, and Europe. As such, Frya is the mother of Frya's people, the -Frieslanders. She is the representative of Wr-alda, and is reverenced -accordingly. Frya has established her "Tex," the first law, and has -established the religion of the eternal light. The worship consists in -the maintenance of a perpetually-burning lamp, foddik, by priestesses, -virgins. At the head of the virgins in every town was a Burgtmaagd, -and the chief of the Burgtmaagden was the Eeremoeder of the Fryasburgt -of Texland. The Eeremoeder governs the whole country. The kings can do -nothing, nor can anything happen without her advice and approval. The -first Eeremoeder was appointed by Frya herself, and was called -Fâsta. In fact, we find here the prototype of the Roman Vestal Virgins. - -We are reminded here of Velleda (Welda) and Aurinia in Tacitus -("Germania," 8. Hist., iv. 61, 65; v. 22, 24. "Annals," i. 54), -and of Gauna, the successor of Velleda, in Dio Cassius (Fragments, -49). Tacitus speaks of the town of Velleda as "edita turris," page -146. It was the town Mannagarda forda (Munster). - -In the county of the Marsians he speaks of the temple Tanfane -(Tanfanc), so called from the sign of the Juul. (See plate I.) - -The last of these towns was Fâstaburgt in Ameland, temple Foste, -destroyed, according to Occa Scarlensis, in 806. - -If we find among the Frisians a belief in a Godhead and ideas of -religion entirely different from the Mythology of other nations, we are -the more surprised to find in some points the closest connection with -the Greek and Roman Mythology, and even with the origin of two deities -of the highest rank, Min-erva and Neptune. Min-erva (Athénè) was -originally a Burgtmaagd, priestess of Frya, at the town Walhallagara, -Middelburg, or Domburg, in Walcheren. And this Min-erva is at the -same time the mysterious enigmatical goddess of whose worship scarcely -any traces remain beyond the votive stones at Domburg, in Walcheren, -Nehallenia, of whom no mythology knows anything more than the name, -which etymology has used for all sorts of fantastical derivations. [2] - -The other, Neptune, called by the Etrurians Nethunus, the God of -the Mediterranean Sea, appears here to have been, when living, -a Friesland Viking, or sea-king, whose home was Alderga (Ouddorp, -not far from Alkmaar). His name was Teunis, called familiarly by -his followers Neef Teunis, or Cousin Teunis, who had chosen the -Mediterranean as the destination of his expeditions, and must have -been deified by the Tyrians at the time when the Phenician navigators -began to extend their voyages so remarkably, sailing to Friesland in -order to obtain British tin, northern iron, and amber from the Baltic, -about 2000 years before Christ. - -Besides these two we meet with a third mythological person--Minos, -the lawgiver of Crete, who likewise appears to have been a Friesland -sea-king, Minno, born at Lindaoord, between Wieringen and Kreyl, -who imparted to the Cretans an "Asagaboek." He is that Minos who, -with his brother Rhadamanthus and Æacus, presided as judges over the -fates of the ghosts in Hades, and must not be confounded with the -later Minos, the contemporary of Ægeus and Theseus, who appears in -the Athenian fables. - -The reader may perhaps be inclined to laugh at these statements, -and apply to me the words that I myself have lately used, fantastic -and improbable. Indeed at first I could not believe my own eyes, -and yet after further consideration I arrived at the discovery of -extraordinary conformities which render the case much less improbable -than the birth of Min-erva from the head of Jupiter by a blow from -the axe of Hephæstus, for instance. - -In the Greek Mythology all the gods and goddesses have a youthful -period. Pallas alone has no youth. She is not otherwise known than -adult. Min-erva appears in Attica as high priestess from a foreign -country, a country unknown to the Greeks. Pallas is a virgin goddess, -Min-erva is a Burgtmaagd. The fair, blue-eyed Pallas, differing thus -in type from the rest of the gods and goddesses, evidently belonged -to Frya's people. The character for wisdom and the emblematical -attributes, especially the owl, are the same for both. Pallas -gives to the new town her own name, Athènai, which has no meaning -in Greek. Min-erva gives to the town built by her the name Athene, -which has an important meaning in Fries, namely, that they came there -as friends--"Âthen." - -Min-erva came to Attica about 1600 years before Christ, the period -at which the Grecian Mythology was beginning to be formed. Min-erva -landed with the fleet of Jon at the head of a colony in Attica. In -later times we find her on the Roman votive stones in Walcheren, -under the name of Nehallenia, worshipped as a goddess of navigation; -and Pallas is worshipped by the Athenians as the protecting goddess -of shipbuilding and navigation. - -Time is the carrier who must eternally turn the "Jol" (wheel) and -carry the sun along his course through the firmament from winter -to winter, thus forming the year, every turn of the wheel being a -day. In midwinter the "Jolfeest" is celebrated on Frya's Day. Then -cakes are baked in the form of the sun's wheel, because with the Jol -Frya formed the letters when she wrote her "Tex." The Jolfeest is -therefore also in honour of Frya as inventor of writing. - -Just as this Jolfeest has been changed by Christianity into -Christmas throughout Denmark and Germany, and into St Nicholas' Day -in Holland; so, certainly, our St Nicholas' dolls--the lover and his -sweetheart--are a memorial of Frya, and the St Nicholas letters a -memorial of Frya's invention of letters formed from the wheel. - -I cannot analyse the whole contents of this writing, and must content -myself with the remarks that I have made. They will give an idea of the -richness and importance of the contents. If some of it is fabulous, -even as fabulous it must have an interest for us, since so little of -the traditions of our forefathers remains to us. - -An internal evidence of the antiquity of these writings may be -found in the fact that the name Batavians had not yet been used. The -inhabitants of the whole country as far as the Scheldt are Frya's -people--Frieslanders. The Batavians are not a separate people. The -name Batavi is of Roman origin. The Romans gave it to the inhabitants -of the banks of the Waal, which river bears the name Patabus in the -"Tabula Pentingeriana." The name Batavi does not appear earlier than -Tacitus and Pliny, and is interpolated in Cæsar's "Bello Gallico," -iv. 10. (See my treatise on the course of the rivers through the -countries of the Frisians and Batavians, p. 49, in "De Vrije Fries," -4th vol. 1st part, 1845.) - -I will conclude with one more remark regarding the language. Those -who have been able to take only a superficial view of the manuscript -have been struck by the polish of the language, and its conformity -with the present Friesland language and Dutch. In this they seem to -find grounds for doubting the antiquity of the manuscript. - -But, I ask, is, then, the language of Homer much less polished than -that of Plato or Demosthenes? And does not the greatest portion of -Homer's vocabulary exist in the Greek of our day? - -It is true that language alters with time, and is continually subject -to slight variations, owing to which language is found to be different -at different epochs. This change in the language in this manuscript -accordingly gives ground for important observations to philologists. It -is not only that of the eight writers who have successively worked -at the book, each is recognisable by slight peculiarities in style, -language, and spelling; but more particularly between the two parts -of the book, between which an interval of more than two centuries -occurs, a striking difference of the language is visible, which -shows what a slowly progressive regulation it has undergone in that -period of time. As the result of these considerations, I arrive at the -conclusion that I cannot find any reason to doubt the authenticity of -these writings. They cannot be forgeries. In the first place, the copy -of 1256 cannot be. Who could at that time have forged anything of that -kind? Certainly no one. Still less any one at an earlier date. At a -later date a forgery is equally impossible, for the simple reason that -no one was acquainted with the language. Except Grimm, Richthofen, -and Hettema, no one can be named sufficiently versed in that branch -of philology, or who had studied the language so as to be able to -write in it. And if any one could have done so, there would have been -no more extensive vocabulary at his service than that which the East -Frisian laws afford. Therefore, in the centuries lately elapsed, the -preparation of this writing was quite impossible. Whoever doubts this -let him begin by showing where, when, by whom, and with what object -such a forgery could be committed, and let him show in modern times -the fellow of this paper, this writing, and this language. - -Moreover, that the manuscript of 1256 is not original, but is a copy, -is proved by the numerous faults in the writing, as well as by some -explanations of words which already in the time of the copyist had -become obsolete and little known, as, for instance, in page 82 (114), -"to thêra flête jefta bedrum;" page 151 (204), "bargum jefta tonnum -fon tha besta bjar." - -A still stronger proof is that between pages 157 and 158 one or more -pages are missing, which cannot have been lost out of this manuscript, -because the pages 157 and 158 are on the front and the back of the -same leaf. - -Page 157 finishes thus: "Three months afterwards Adel sent messengers -to all the friends that he had gained, and requested them to send -him intelligent people in the month of May." When we turn over the -leaf, the other side begins, "his wife, he said, who had been Maid -of Texland, had got a copy of it." - -There is no connection between these two. There is wanting, at least, -the arrival of the invited, and an account of what passed at their -meeting. It is clear, therefore, that the copyist must have turned -over two pages of the original instead of one. There certainly existed -then an earlier manuscript, and that was doubtless written by Liko -oera Linda in the year 803. - -We may thus accept that we possess in this manuscript, of which -the first part was composed in the sixth century before our era, the -oldest production, after Homer and Hesiod, of European literature, And -here we find in our fatherland a very ancient people in possession of -development, civilization, industry, navigation, commerce, literature, -and pure elevated ideas of religion, whose existence we had never even -conjectured. Hitherto we have believed that the historical records -of our people reach no farther back than the arrival of Friso the -presumptive founder of the Frisians, whereas here we become aware -that these records mount up to more than 2000 years before Christ, -surpassing the antiquity of Hellas and equalling that of Israel. - - - This paper was read at a meeting of the Frisian Society, - February. 1871. - - - - - - -COMPARATIVE SAMPLE - -OF THE OLD FRISIAN LAWS, AND THE LANGUAGE OF THE MANUSCRIPT. - - -Dyo forme need is: hweerso en kynd jongh is finsen ende fitered -noerd wr hef, jefta (sud) wr birgh.

All the states that -lie on the other side of the Weser had been wrested from us, and had -fallen under the power of Magy, and it looked as if his power was to -become supreme over the whole land. To avert this misfortune a general -assembly of the people was summoned, which was attended by all the -men who stood in good repute with the Maagden (priestesses). Then at -the end of three days the whole council was in confusion, and in the -same position as when they came together. Thereupon Adela demanded -to be heard, and said:-- - -You all know that I was three years Burgtmaagd. You know also that -I was chosen for Volksmoeder, and that I refused to be Volksmoeder -because I wished to marry Apol; but what you do not know is, that I -have watched everything that has happened, as if I had really been -your Volksmoeder. I have constantly travelled about, observing what -was going on. By that means I have become acquainted with many things -that others do not know. You said yesterday that our relatives on -the other side of the Weser were dull and cowardly; but I may tell -you that the Magy has not won a single village from them by force of -arms; but only by detestable deceit, and still more by the rapacity -of their dukes and nobles. - -Frya has said we must not admit amongst us any but free people; but -what have they done? They have imitated our enemies, and instead of -killing their prisoners, or letting them go free, they have despised -the counsel of Frya, and have made slaves of them. - -Because they have acted thus, Frya cared no longer to watch over -them. They robbed others of their freedom, and therefore lost -their own. - -This is well known to you, but I will tell you how they came to sink -so low. The Finn women had children. These grew up with our free -children. They played and gamboled together in the fields, and were -also together by the hearth. - -There they learned with pleasure the loose ways of the Finns, because -they were bad and new; and thus they became denationalised in spite of -the efforts of their parents. When the children grew up, and saw that -the children of the Finns handled no weapons, and scarcely worked, -they took a distaste for work, and became proud. - -The principal men and their cleverest sons made up to the wanton -daughters of the Finns; and their own daughters, led astray by this bad -example, allowed themselves to be beguiled by the handsome young Finns -in derision of their depraved fathers. When the Magy found this out, -he took the handsomest of his Finns and Magyars, and promised them -"red cows with golden horns" to let themselves be taken prisoners -by our people in order to spread his doctrines. His people did even -more. Children disappeared, were taken away to the uplands, and after -they had been brought up in his pernicious doctrines, were sent back. - -When these pretended prisoners had learned our language, they -persuaded the dukes and nobles that they should become subject to the -Magy--that then their sons would succeed to them without having to -be elected. Those who by their good deeds had gained a piece of land -in front of their house, they promised on their side should receive -in addition a piece behind; those who had got a piece before and -behind, should have a rondeel (complete circuit); and those who had -a rondeel should have a whole freehold. If the seniors were true to -Frya, then they changed their course, and turned to the degenerate -sons. Yesterday there were among you those who would have called -the whole people together, to compel the eastern states to return to -their duty. According to my humble opinion, they would have made a -great mistake. Suppose that there was a very serious epidemic among -the cattle, would you run the risk of sending your own healthy cattle -among the sick ones? Certainly not. Every one must see that doing -that would turn out very badly for the whole of the cattle. Who, then, -would be so imprudent as to send their children among a people wholly -depraved? If I were to give you any advice, it would be to choose a -new Volksmoeder. I know that you are in a difficulty about it, because -out of the thirteen Burgtmaagden that we still have remaining, eight -are candidates for the dignity; but I should pay no attention to that. - -Teuntia, the Burgtmaagd of Medeasblik, who is not a candidate, is a -person of knowledge and sound sense, and quite as attached to our -people and our customs as all the rest together. I should farther -recommend that you should visit all the citadels, and write down all -the laws of Frya's Tex, as well as all the histories, and all that -is written on the walls, in order that it may not be destroyed with -the citadels. - -It stands written that every Volksmoeder and every Burgtmaagd -shall have assistants and messengers--twenty-one maidens and seven -apprentices. - -If I might add more, I would recommend that all the respectable girls -in the towns should be taught; for I say positively, and time will -show it, that if you wish to remain true children of Frya, never to -be vanquished by fraud or arms, you must take care to bring up your -daughters as true Frya's daughters. - -You must teach the children how great our country has been, what -great men our forefathers were, how great we still are, if we compare -ourselves to others. - -You must tell them of the sea-heroes, of their mighty deeds and -distant voyages. All these stories must be told by the fireside and -in the field, wherever it may be, in times of joy or sorrow; and if -you wish to impress it on the brains and the hearts of your sons, -you must let it flow through the lips of your wives and your daughters. - -Adela's advice was followed. - -These are the Grevetmen under whose direction this book is composed:-- - -Apol, Adela's husband; three times a sea-king; Grevetman of Ostflyland -and Lindaoorden. The towns Liudgarda, Lindahem, and Stavia are under -his care. - -The Saxman Storo, Sytia's husband; Grevetman over the Hoogefennen and -Wouden. Nine times he was chosen as duke or heerman (commander). The -towns Buda and Manna-garda-forda are under his care. - -Abêlo, Jaltia's husband; Grevetman over the Zuiderfly-landen. He was -three times heerman. The towns Aken, Liudburg, and Katsburg are under -his care. - -Enoch, Dywcke's husband; Grevetman over Westflyland and Texel. He -was chosen nine times for sea-king. Waraburg, Medeasblik, Forana, -and Fryasburg are under his care. - -Foppe, Dunroo's husband; Grevetman over the seven islands. He was -five times sea-king. The town Walhallagara is under his care. - -This was inscribed upon the walls of Fryasburg in Texland, as well -as at Stavia and Medeasblik. - -It was Frya's day, and seven times seven years had elapsed since -Festa was appointed Volksmoeder by the desire of Frya. The citadel of -Medeasblik was ready, and a Burgtmaagd was chosen. Festa was about to -light her new lamp, and when she had done so in the presence of all -the people, Frya called from her watch-star, so that every one could -hear it: "Festa, take your style and write the things, that I may not -speak." Festa did as she was bid, and thus we became Frya's children, -and our earliest history began. - -This is our earliest history. - -Wr-alda, who alone is eternal and good, made the beginning. Then -commenced time. Time wrought all things, even the earth. The earth -bore grass, herbs, and trees, all useful and all noxious animals. All -that is good and useful she brought forth by day, and all that is -bad and injurious by night. - -After the twelfth Juulfeest she brought forth three maidens:-- - -Lyda out of fierce heat. - -Finda out of strong heat. - -Frya out of moderate heat. - -When the last came into existence, Wr-alda breathed his spirit upon -her in order that men might be bound to him. As soon as they were -full grown they took pleasure and delight in the visions of Wr-alda. - -Hatred found its way among them. - -They each bore twelve sons and twelve daughters--at every Juul-time -a couple. Thence come all mankind. - -Lyda was black, with hair curled like a lamb's; her eyes shone like -stars, and shot out glances like those of a bird of prey. - -Lyda was acute. She could hear a snake glide, and could smell a fish -in the water. - -Lyda was strong and nimble. She could bend a large tree, yet when -she walked she did not bruise a flower-stalk. - -Lyda was violent. Her voice was loud, and when she screamed in anger -every creature quailed. - -Wonderful Lyda! She had no regard for laws; her actions were governed -by her passions. To help the weak she would kill the strong, and when -she had done it she would weep by their bodies. - -Poor Lyda! She turned grey by her mad behaviour, and at last she died -heart-broken by the wickedness of her children. Foolish children! They -accused each other of their mother's death. They howled and fought -like wolves, and while they did this the birds devoured the corpse. Who -can refrain from tears at such a recital? - -Finda was yellow, and her hair was like the mane of a horse. She -could not bend a tree, but where Lyda killed one lion she killed ten. - -Finda was seductive. Her voice was sweeter than any bird's. Her -eyes were alluring and enticing, but whoever looked upon them became -her slave. - -Finda was unreasonable. She wrote thousands of laws, but she never -obeyed one. She despised the frankness of the good, and gave herself -up to flatterers. - -That was her misfortune. Her head was too full, but her heart was too -vain. She loved nobody but herself, and she wished that all should -love her. - -False Finda! Honey-sweet were her words, but those who trusted them -found sorrow at hand. - -Selfish Finda! She wished to rule everybody, and her sons were like -her. They made their sisters serve them, and they slew each other -for the mastery. - -Treacherous Finda! One wrong word would irritate her, and the -cruellest deeds did not affect her. If she saw a lizard swallow a -spider, she shuddered; but if she saw her children kill a Frisian, -her bosom swelled with pleasure. - -Unfortunate Finda! She died in the bloom of her age, and the mode of -her death is unknown. - -Hypocritical children! Her corpse was buried under a costly stone, -pompous inscriptions were written on it, and loud lamentations were -heard at it, but in private not a tear was shed. - -Despicable people! The laws that Finda established were written -on golden tables, but the object for which they were made was never -attained. The good laws were abolished, and selfishness instituted bad -ones in their place. O Finda! then the earth overflowed with blood, -and your children were mown down like grass. Yes, Finda! those were -the fruits of your vanity. Look down from your watch-star and weep. - -Frya was white like the snow at sunrise, and the blue of her eyes -vied with the rainbow. - -Beautiful Frya! Like the rays of the sun shone the locks of her hair, -which were as fine as spiders' webs. - -Clever Frya! When she opened her lips the birds ceased to sing and -the leaves to quiver. - -Powerful Frya! At the glance of her eye the lion lay down at her feet -and the adder withheld his poison. - -Pure Frya! Her food was honey, and her beverage was dew gathered from -the cups of the flowers. - -Sensible Frya! The first lesson that she taught her children was -self-control, and the second was the love of virtue; and when they -were grown she taught them the value of liberty; for she said, -"Without liberty all other virtues serve to make you slaves, and to -disgrace your origin." - -Generous Frya! She never allowed metal to be dug from the earth for -her own benefit, but when she did it it was for the general use. - -Most happy Frya! Like the starry host in the firmament, her children -clustered around her. - -Wise Frya! When she had seen her children reach the seventh generation, -she summoned them all to Flyland, and there gave them her Tex, saying, -"Let this be your guide, and it can never go ill with you." - -Exalted Frya! When she had thus spoken the earth shook like the sea -of Wr-alda. The ground of Flyland sunk beneath her feet, the air -was dimmed by tears, and when they looked for their mother she was -already risen to her watching star; then at length thunder burst from -the clouds, and the lightning wrote upon the firmament "Watch!" - -Far-seeing Frya! The land from which she had risen was now a stream, -and except her Tex all that was in it was overwhelmed. - -Obedient children! When they came to themselves again, they made -this high mound and built this citadel upon it, and on the walls -they wrote the Tex, and that every one should be able to find it they -called the land about it Texland. Therefore it shall remain as long -as the earth shall be the earth. - - - - - - -FRYA'S TEX. - - -Prosperity awaits the free. At last they shall see me again. Through -him only can I recognise as free who is neither a slave to another -nor to himself. This is my counsel:-- - -1. When in dire distress, and when mental and physical energy avail -nothing, then have recourse to the spirit of Wr-alda; but do not -appeal to him before you have tried all other means, for I tell you -beforehand, and time will prove its truth, that those who give way -to discouragement sink under their burdens. - -2. To Wr-alda's spirit only shall you bend the knee in -gratitude--thricefold--for what you have received, for what you do -receive, and for the hope of aid in time of need. - -3. You have seen how speedily I have come to your assistance. Do -likewise to your neighbour, but wait not for his entreaties. The -suffering would curse you, my maidens would erase your name from the -book, and I would regard you as a stranger. - -4. Let not your neighbour express his thanks to you on bended knee, -which is only due to Wr-alda's spirit. Envy would assail you, Wisdom -would ridicule you, and my maidens would accuse you of irreverence. - -5. Four things are given for your enjoyment--air, water, land, and -fire--but Wr-alda is the sole possessor of them. Therefore my counsel -to you is, choose upright men who will fairly divide the labour and -the fruits, so that no man shall be exempt from work or from the duty -of defence. - -6. If ever it should happen that one of your people should sell his -freedom, he is not of you, he is a bastard. I counsel you to expel him -and his mother from the land. Repeat this to your children morning, -noon, and night, till they think of it in their dreams. - -7. If any man shall deprive another, even his debtor, of his liberty, -let him be to you as a vile slave; and I advise you to burn his body -and that of his mother in an open place, and bury them fifty feet -below the ground, so that no grass shall grow upon them. It would -poison your cattle. - -8. Meddle not with the people of Lyda, nor of Finda, because Wr-alda -would help them, and any injury that you inflicted on them would -recoil upon your own heads. - -9. If it should happen that they come to you for advice or assistance, -then it behoves you to help them; but if they should rob you, then -fall upon them with fire and sword. - -10. If any of them should seek a daughter of yours to wife, and she is -willing, explain to her her folly; but if she will follow her lover, -let her go in peace. - -11. If your son wishes for a daughter of theirs, do the same as to your -daughter; but let not either one or the other ever return among you, -for they would introduce foreign morals and customs, and if these -were accepted by you, I could no longer watch over you. - -12. Upon my servant Fasta I have placed all my hopes. Therefore -you must choose her for Eeremoeder. Follow my advice, then she will -hereafter remain my servant as well as all the sacred maidens who -succeed her. Then shall the lamp which I have lighted for you never be -extinguished. Its brightness shall always illuminate your intellect, -and you shall always remain as free from foreign domination as your -fresh river-water is distinct from the salt sea. - - - - - - -THIS HAS FASTA SPOKEN. - - -All the regulations which have existed a century, that is, a hundred -years, may by the advice of the Eeremoeder, with the consent of -the community, be inscribed upon the walls of the citadel, and when -inscribed on the walls they become laws, and it is our duty to respect -them all. If by force or necessity any regulations should be imposed -upon us at variance with our laws and customs, we must submit; but -should we be released, we must always return to our own again. That -is Frya's will, and must be that of all her children. - - - - - - -FASTA SAID-- - - -Anything that any man commences, whatever it may be, on the day -appointed for Frya's worship shall eternally fail, for time has -proved that she was right; and it is become a law that no man shall, -except from absolute necessity, keep that day otherwise than as a -joyful feast. - - - - - - -THESE ARE THE LAWS ESTABLISHED FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CITADELS. - - -1. Whenever a citadel is built, the lamp belonging to it must be -lighted at the original lamp in Texland, and that can only be done -by the mother. - -2. Every mother shall appoint her own maidens. She may even choose -those who are mothers in other towns. - -3. The mother of Texland may appoint her own successor, but should -she die without having done so, the election shall take place at a -general assembly of the whole nation. - -4. The mother of Texland may have twenty-one maidens and seven -assistants, so that there may always be seven to attend the lamp day -and night. She may have the same number of maidens who are mothers -in other towns. - -5. If a maiden wishes to marry, she must announce it to the mother, -and immediately resign her office, before her passion shall have -polluted the light. - -6. For the service of the mother and of each of the Burgtmaidens -there shall be appointed twenty-one townsmen--seven civilians of -mature years, seven warriors of mature years, and seven seamen of -mature years. - -7. Out of the seven three shall retire every year, and shall not be -replaced by members of their own family nearer than the fourth degree. - -8. Each may have three hundred young townsmen as defenders. - -9. For this service they must study Frya's Tex and the laws. From -the sages they must learn wisdom, from the warriors the art of war, -and from the sea-kings the skill required for distant voyages. - -10. Every year one hundred of the defenders shall return to their -homes, and those that may have been wounded shall remain in the -citadels. - -11. At the election of the defenders no burgher or Grevetman, or -other person of distinction, shall vote, but only the people. - -12. The mother at Texland shall have three times seven active -messengers, and three times twelve speedy horses. In the other citadels -each maiden shall have three messengers and seven horses. - -13. Every citadel shall have fifty agriculturists chosen by the people, -but only those may be chosen who are not strong enough to go to war -or to go to sea. - -14. Every citadel must provide for its own sustenance, and must -maintain its own defences, and look after its share of the general -contributions. - -15. If a man is chosen to fill any office and refuses to serve, he -can never become a burgher, nor have any vote. And if he is already -a burgher, he shall cease to be so. - -16. If any man wishes to consult the mother or a Burgtmaid, he must -apply to the secretary, who will take him to the Burgtmaster. He -will then be examined by a surgeon to see if he is in good health. If -he is passed, he shall lay aside his arms, and seven warriors shall -present him to the mother. - -17. If the affair concerns only one district, he must bring forward not -less than three witnesses; but if it affects the whole of Friesland, -he must have twenty-one additional witnesses, in order to guard -against any deceptions. - -18. Under all circumstances the mother must take care that her -children, that is, Frya's people, shall remain as temperate as -possible. This is her most important duty, and it is the duty of all -of us to help her in performing it. - -19. If she is called upon to decide any judicial question between -a Grevetman and the community, she must incline towards the side of -the community in order to maintain peace, and because it is better -that one man should suffer than many. - -20. If any one comes to the mother for advice, and she is prepared -to give it, she must do it immediately. If she does not know what to -advise, he must remain waiting seven days; and if she then is unable -to advise, he must go away without complaining, for it is better to -have no advice at all than bad advice. - -21. If a mother shall have given bad advice out of ill will, she must -be killed or driven out of the land, deprived of everything. - -22. If her Burgtheeren are accomplices, they are to be treated in a -similar manner. - -23. If her guilt is doubtful or only suspected, it must be considered -and debated, if necessary, for twenty-one weeks. If half the votes -are against her, she must be declared innocent. If two-thirds are -against her, she must wait a whole year. If the votes are then the -same, she must be considered guilty, but may not be put to death. - -24. If any of the one-third who have voted for her wish to go away -with her, they may depart with all their live and dead stock, and -shall not be the less considered, since the majority may be wrong as -well as the minority. - - - - - - -UNIVERSAL LAW. - - -1. All free-born men are equal, wherefore they must all have equal -rights on sea and land, and on all that Wr-alda has given. - -2. Every man may seek the wife of his choice, and every woman may -bestow her hand on him whom she loves. - -3. When a man takes a wife, a house and yard must be given to him. If -there is none, one must be built for him. - -4. If he has taken a wife in another village, and wishes to remain, -they must give him a house there, and likewise the free use of -the common. - -5. To every man must be given a piece of land behind his house. No -man shall have land in front of his house, still less an enclosure, -unless he has performed some public service. In such a case it may be -given, and the youngest son may inherit it, but after him it returns -to the community. - -6. Every village shall possess a common for the general good, and the -chief of the village shall take care that it is kept in good order, -so that posterity shall find it uninjured. - -7. Every village shall have a market-place. All the rest of the land -shall be for tillage and forest. No one shall fell trees without the -consent of the community, or without the knowledge of the forester; -for the forests are general property, and no man can appropriate them. - -8. The market charges shall not exceed one-twelfth of the value of -the goods either to natives or strangers. The portion taken for the -charges shall not be sold before the other goods. - -9. All the market receipts must be divided yearly into a hundred -parts three days before the Juul-day. - -10. The Grevetman and his council shall take twenty parts; the keeper -of the market ten, and his assistants five; the Volksmoeder one, -the midwife four, the village ten, and the poor and infirm shall have -fifty parts. - -11. There shall be no usurers in the market. - -If any should come, it will be the duty of the maidens to make it -known through the whole land, in order that such people may not be -chosen for any office, because they are hard-hearted. - -For the sake of money they would betray everybody--the people, the -mother, their nearest relations, and even their own selves. - -12. If any man should attempt to sell diseased cattle or damaged -goods for sound, the market-keeper shall expel him, and the maidens -shall proclaim him through the country. - -In early times almost all the Finns lived together in their native -land, which was called Aldland, and is now submerged. They were thus -far away, and we had no wars. When they were driven hitherwards, and -appeared as robbers, then arose the necessity of defending ourselves, -and we had armies, kings, and wars. - -For all this there were established regulations, and out of the -regulations came fixed laws. - - - - - - -HERE FOLLOW THE LAWS WHICH WERE THUS ESTABLISHED. - - -1. Every Frisian must resist the assailants with such weapons as he -can procure, invent, and use. - -2. When a boy is twelve years old he must devote one day in seven to -learning how to use his weapons. - -3. As soon as he is perfect in the use of them they are to be given -to him, and he is to be admitted as a warrior. - -4. After serving as a warrior three years, he may become a citizen, -and may have a vote in the election of the headman. - -5. When he has been seven years a voter he then may have a vote for -the chief or king, and may be himself elected. - -6. Every year he must be re-elected. - -7. Except the king, all other officials are re-eligible who act -according to Frya's laws. - -8. No king may be in office more than three years, in order that the -office may not be permanent. - -9. After an interval of seven years he may be elected again. - -10. If the king is killed by the enemy, his nearest relative may be -a candidate to succeed him. - -11. If he dies a natural death, or if his period of service has -expired, he shall not be succeeded by any blood relation nearer than -the fourth degree. - -12. Those who fight with arms are not men of counsel, therefore no -king must bear arms. His wisdom must be his weapon, and the love of -his warriors his shield. - - - - - - -THESE ARE THE RIGHTS OF THE MOTHERS AND THE KINGS. - - -1. If war breaks out, the mother sends her messengers to the king, -who sends messengers to the Grevetmen to call the citizens to arms. - -2. The Grevetmen call all the citizens together and decide how many -men shall be sent. - -3. All the resolutions must immediately be sent to the mother by -messengers and witnesses. - -4. The mother considers all the resolutions and decides upon them, -and with this the king as well as the people must be satisfied. - -5. When in the field, the king consults only his superior officers, but -three citizens of the mother must be present, without any voice. These -citizens must send daily reports to the mother, that they may be sure -nothing is done contrary to the counsels of Frya. - -6. If the king wishes to do anything which his council opposes, -he may not persist in it. - -7. If an enemy appears unexpectedly, then the king's orders must -be obeyed. - -8. If the king is not present, the next to him takes command, and so -on in succession according to rank. - -9. If there is no leader present, one must be chosen. - -10. If there is no time to choose, any one may come forward who feels -himself capable of leading. - -11. If a king has conquered a dangerous enemy, his successors may take -his name after their own. The king may, if he wishes, choose an open -piece of ground for a house and ground; the ground shall be enclosed, -and may be so large that there shall be seven hundred steps to the -boundary in all directions from the house. - -12. His youngest son may inherit this, and that son's youngest son -after him; then it shall return to the community. - - - - - - -HERE ARE THE RULES ESTABLISHED FOR THE SECURITY OF ALL FRISIANS. - - -1. Whenever new laws are made or new regulations established, they -must be for the common good, and not for individual advantage. - -2. Whenever in time of war either ships or houses are destroyed, -either by the enemy or as a matter of precaution, a general levy -shall be assessed on the people to make it good again, so that no -one may neglect the general welfare to preserve his own interest. - -3. At the conclusion of a war, if any men are so severely wounded as -to be unable to work, they shall be maintained at the public expense, -and shall have the best seats at festivals, in order that the young -may learn to honour them. - -4. If there are widows and orphans, they shall likewise be maintained -at the public expense; and the sons may inscribe the names of their -fathers on their shields for the honour of their families. - -5. If any who have been taken prisoners should return, they must be -kept separate from the camp, because they may have obtained their -liberty by making treacherous promises, and thus they may avoid -keeping their promises without forfeiting their honour. - -6. If any enemies be taken prisoners, they must be sent to the interior -of the country, that they may learn our free customs. - -7. If they are afterwards set free, it must be done with kindness -by the maidens, in order that we may make them comrades and friends, -instead of haters and enemies. - - - - - - -FROM MINNO'S WRITINGS. - - -If any one should be so wicked as to commit robbery, murder, arson, -rape, or any other crime, upon a neighbouring state, and our people -wish to inflict punishment, the culprit shall be put to death in -the presence of the offended, in order that no war may arise, and -the innocent suffer for the guilty. If the offended will spare his -life and forego their revenge, it may be permitted. If the culprit -should be a king, Grevetman, or other person in authority, we must -make good his fault, but he must be punished. - -If he bears on his shield the honourable name of his forefathers, -his kinsmen shall no longer wear it, in order that every man may look -after the conduct of his relatives. - - - - - - -LAWS FOR THE NAVIGATORS. - -Navigator is the title of those who make foreign voyages. - - -1. All Frya's sons have equal rights, and every stalwart youth may -offer himself as a navigator to the Olderman, who may not refuse him -as long as there is any vacancy. - -2. The navigators may choose their own masters. - -3. The traders must be chosen and named by the community to which -they belong, and the navigators have no voice in their election. - -4. If during a voyage it is found that the king is bad or incompetent, -another may be put in his place, and on the return home he may make -his complaint to the Olderman. - -5. If the fleet returns with profits, the sailors may divide one-third -among themselves in the following manner: The king twelve portions, -the admiral seven, the boatswains each two portions, the captains -three, and the rest of the crew each one part; the youngest boys -each one-third of a portion, the second boys half a portion each, -and the eldest boys two-thirds of a portion each. - -6. If any have been disabled, they must be maintained at the public -expense, and honoured in the same way as the soldiers. - -7. If any have died on the voyage, their nearest relatives inherit -their portion. - -8. Their widows and orphans must be maintained at the public expense; -and if they were killed in a sea-fight, their sons may bear the names -of their fathers on their shields. - -9. If a topsailman is lost, his heirs shall receive a whole portion. - -10. If he was betrothed, his bride may claim seven portions in order -to erect a monument to her bridegroom, but then she must remain a -widow all her life. - -11. If the community is fitting out a fleet, the purveyors must provide -the best provisions for the voyage, and for the women and children. - -12. If a sailor is worn out and poor, and has no house or patrimony, -one must be given him. If he does not wish for a house, his friends -may take him home; and the community must bear the expense, unless -his friends decline to receive it. - - - - - - -USEFUL EXTRACTS FROM THE WRITINGS LEFT BY MINNO. - - -Minno was an ancient sea-king. He was a seer and a philosopher, and -he gave laws to the Cretans. He was born at Lindaoord, and after all -his wanderings he had the happiness to die at Lindahem. - -If our neighbours have a piece of land or water which it would be -advantageous for us to possess, it is proper that we should offer to -buy it. If they refuse to sell it, we must let them keep it. This is -Frya's Tex, and it would be unjust to act contrary to it. - -If any of our neighbours quarrel and fight about any matter except -land, and they request us to arbitrate, our best course will be -to decline; but if they insist upon it, it must be done honourably -and justly. - -If any one comes and says, I am at war, you must help me; or another -comes and says, My son is an infant and incompetent, and I am old, -so I wish you to be his guardian, and to take charge of my property -until he is of age, it is proper to refuse in order that we may not -come into disputes about matters foreign to our free customs. - -Whenever a foreign trader comes to the open markets at Wyringen and -Almanland, if he cheats, he must immediately be fined, and it must -be published by the maidens throughout the whole country. - -If he should come back, no one must deal with him. He must return as -he came. - -Whenever traders are chosen to go to trading stations, or to sail -with the fleets, they must be well known and of good reputation with -the maidens. - -If, however, a bad man should by chance be chosen and should try to -cheat, the others are bound to remove him. If he should have committed -a cheat, it must be made good, and the culprit must be banished from -the land in order that our name may be everywhere held in honour. - -If we should be ill-treated in a foreign market, whether distant or -near, we must immediately attack them; for though we desire to be at -peace, we must not let our neighbours underrate us or think that we -are afraid. - -In my youth I often grumbled at the strictness of the laws, but -afterwards I learned to thank Frya for her Tex and our forefathers -for the laws which they established upon it. Wr-alda or Alvader has -given me many years, and I have travelled over many lands and seas, -and after all that I have seen, I am convinced that we alone are -chosen by Alvader to have laws. Lyda's people can neither make laws -nor obey them, they are too stupid and uncivilised. Many are like -Finda. They are clever enough, but they are too rapacious, haughty, -false, immoral, and bloodthirsty. - -The toad blows himself out, but he can only crawl. The frog cries -"Work, work;" but he can do nothing but hop and make himself -ridiculous. The raven cries "Spare, spare;" but he steals and wastes -everything that he gets into his beak. - -Finda's people are just like these. They say a great deal about -making good laws, and every one wishes to make regulations against -misconduct, but does not wish to submit to them himself. Whoever is -the most crafty crows over the others, and tries to make them submit -to him, till another comes who drives him off his perch. - -The word "Eva" is too sacred for common use, therefore men have -learned to say "Evin." - -"Eva" means that sentiment which is implanted in the breast of every -man in order that he may know what is right and what is wrong, and by -which he is able to judge his own deeds and those of others; that is, -if he has been well and properly brought up. "Eva" has also another -meaning; that is, tranquil, smooth, like water that is not stirred by a -breath of wind. If the water is disturbed it becomes troubled, uneven, -but it always has a tendency to return to its tranquil condition. That -is its nature, just as the inclination towards justice and freedom -exists in Frya's children. We derive this disposition from the spirit -of our father Wr-alda, which speaks strongly in Frya's children, -and will eternally remain so. Eternity is another symbol of Wr-alda, -who remains always just and unchangeable. - -Eternal and unalterable are the signs wisdom and rectitude, which -must be sought after by all pious people, and must be possessed by -all judges. If, therefore, it is desired to make laws and regulations -which shall be permanent, they must be equal for all men. The judges -must pronounce their decisions according to these laws. If any crime -is committed respecting which no law has been made, a general assembly -of the people shall be called, where judgment shall be pronounced in -accordance with the inspiration of Wr-alda's spirit. If we act thus, -our judgment will never fail to be right. - -If instead of doing right, men will commit wrong, there will arise -quarrels and differences among people and states. Thence arise civil -wars, and everything is thrown into confusion and destroyed; and, -O foolish people! while you are injuring each other the spiteful -Finda's people with their false priests come and attack your ports, -ravish your daughters, corrupt your morals, and at last throw the -bonds of slavery over every freeman's neck. - - - - - - -FROM MINNO'S WRITINGS. - - -When Nyhalennia, whose real name was Min-erva, was well established, -and the Krekalanders loved her as well as our own people did, there -came some princes and priests to her citadel and asked Min-erva, where -her possessions lay. Hellenia answered, I carry my possessions in -my own bosom. What I have inherited is the love of wisdom, justice, -and freedom. If I lose these I shall become as the least of your -slaves; now I give advice for nothing, but then I should sell it. The -gentlemen went away laughing and saying, Your humble servants, wise -Hellenia. But they missed their object, for the people took up this -name as a name of honour. When they saw that their shot had missed they -began to calumniate her, and to say that she had bewitched the people; -but our people and the good Krekalanders understood at once that it -was calumny. She was once asked, If you are not a witch, what is the -use of the eggs that you always carry with you? Min-erva answered, -These eggs are the symbols of Frya's counsels, in which our future -and that of the whole human race lies concealed. Time will hatch them, -and we must watch that no harm happens to them. The priests said, Well -answered; but what is the use of the dog on your right hand? Hellenia -replied, Does not the shepherd have a sheep-dog to keep his flock -together? What the dog is to the shepherd I am in Frya's service. I -must watch over Frya's flocks. We understand that very well, said the -priests; but tell us what means the owl that always sits upon your -head, is that light-shunning animal a sign of your clear vision? No, -answered Hellenia; he reminds me that there are people on earth who, -like him, have their homes in churches and holes, who go about in the -twilight, not, like him, to deliver us from mice and other plagues, -but to invent tricks to steal away the knowledge of other people, in -order to take advantage of them, to make slaves of them, and to suck -their blood like leeches. Another time they came with a whole troop -of people, when the plague was in the country, and said: We are all -making offerings to the gods that they may take away the plague. Will -you not help to turn away their anger, or have you yourself brought the -plague into the land with all your arts? No, said Min-erva; I know no -gods that do evil, therefore I cannot ask them to do better. I only -know one good spirit, that is Wr-alda's; and as he is good he never -does evil. Where, then, does evil come from? asked the priests. All -the evil comes from you, and from the stupidity of the people who let -themselves be deceived by you. If, then, your god is so exceedingly -good, why does he not turn away the bad? asked the priests. Hellenia -answered: Frya has placed us here, and the carrier, that is, Time, -must do the rest. For all calamities there is counsel and remedy to -be found, but Wr-alda wills that we should search it out ourselves, -in order that we may become strong and wise. If we will not do that, -he leaves us to our own devices, in order that we may experience the -results of wise or foolish conduct. Then a prince said, I should think -it best to submit. Very possibly, answered Hellenia; for then men -would be like sheep, and you and the priests would take care of them, -shearing them and leading them to the shambles. This is what our god -does not desire, he desires that we should help one another, but that -all should be free and wise. That is also our desire, and therefore our -people choose their princes, counts, councillors, chiefs, and masters -among the wisest of the good men, in order that every man shall do -his best to be wise and good. Thus doing, we learn ourselves and -teach the people that being wise and acting wisely can alone lead to -holiness. That seems very good judgment, said the priests; but if you -mean that the plague is caused by our stupidity, then Nyhellenia will -perhaps be so good as to bestow upon us a little of that new light of -which she is so proud. Yes, said Hellenia, but ravens and other birds -of prey feed only on dead carrion, whereas the plague feeds not only -on carrion but on bad laws and customs and wicked passions. If you -wish the plague to depart from you and not return, you must put away -your bad passions and become pure within and without. We admit that -the advice is good, said the priests, but how shall we induce all the -people under our rule to agree to it? Then Hellenia stood up and said: -The sparrows follow the sower, and the people their good princes, -therefore it becomes you to begin by rendering yourselves pure, so -that you may look within and without, and not be ashamed of your own -conduct. Now, instead of purifying the people, you have invented foul -festivals, in which they have so long revelled that they wallow like -swine in the mire to atone for your evil passions. The people began -to mock and to jeer, so that she did not dare to pursue the subject; -and one would have thought that they would have called all the people -together to drive us out of the land; but no, in place of abusing -her they went all about from the heathenish Krekaland to the Alps, -proclaiming that it had pleased the Almighty God to send his clever -daughter Min-erva, surnamed Nyhellenia, over the sea in a cloud to -give people good counsel, and that all who listened to her should -become rich and happy, and in the end governors of all the kingdoms -of the earth. They erected statues to her on all their altars, -they announced and sold to the simple people advice that she had -never given, and related miracles that she had never performed. They -cunningly made themselves masters of our laws and customs, and by -craft and subtlety were able to explain and spread them around. They -appointed priestesses under their own care, who were apparently -under the protection of Festa, our first Eeremoeder, to watch over -the holy lamp; but that lamp they lit themselves, and instead of -imbuing the priestesses with wisdom, and then sending them to watch -the sick and educate the young, they made them stupid and ignorant, -and never allowed them to come out. They were employed as advisers, -but the advice which seemed to come from them was but the repetition of -the behests of the priests. When Nyhellenia died, we wished to choose -another mother, and some of us wished to go to Texland to look for -her; but the priests, who were all-powerful among their own people, -would not permit it, and accused us before the people of being unholy. - - - - - - -FROM THE WRITINGS OF MINNO. - - -When I came away from Athenia with my followers, we arrived at -an island named by my crew Kreta, because of the cries that the -inhabitants raised on our arrival. When they really saw that we did -not come to make war, they were quiet, so that at last I was able to -buy a harbour in exchange for a boat and some iron implements, and a -piece of land. When we had been settled there a short time, and they -discovered that we had no slaves, they were very much astonished; -and when I explained to them that we had laws which made everybody -equal, they wished to have the same; but they had hardly established -them before the whole land was in confusion. - -The priests and the princes declared that we had excited their -subjects to rebellion, and the people appealed to us for aid and -protection. When the princes saw that they were about to lose their -kingdom, they gave freedom to their people, and came to me to establish -a code of laws. The people, however, got no freedom, and the princes -remained masters, acting according to their own pleasure. When this -storm had passed, they began to sow divisions among us. They told my -people that I had invoked their assistance to make myself permanent -king. Once I found poison in my food. So when a ship from Flyland -sailed past, I quietly took my departure. Leaving alone, then, my own -adventures, I will conclude this history by saying that we must not -have anything to do with Finda's people, wherever it may be, because -they are full of false tricks, fully as much to be feared as their -sweet wine with deadly poison. - - - HERE ENDS MINNO'S WRITING. - - - - - - -THESE ARE THE THREE PRINCIPLES ON WHICH THESE LAWS ARE FOUNDED. - - -1. Everybody knows that he requires the necessaries of life, and if -he cannot obtain them he does not know how to preserve his life. - -2. All men have a natural desire to have children, and if it is not -satisfied they are not aware what evil may spring from it. - -3. Every man knows that he wishes to live free and undisturbed, -and that others wish the same thing. - -To secure this, these laws and regulations are made. - -The people of Finda have also their rules and regulations, but these -are not made according to what is just--only for the advantage of -priests and princes--therefore their states are full of disputes -and murder. - -1. If any man falls into a state of destitution, his case must be -brought before the count by the maidens, because a high-minded Frisian -cannot bear to do that himself. - -2. If any man becomes poor because he will not work, he must be sent -out of the country, because the cowardly and lazy are troublesome -and ill-disposed, therefore they ought to be got rid of. - -3. Every young man ought to seek a bride and to be married at -five-and-twenty. - -4. If a young man is not married at five-and-twenty, he must be -driven from his home, and the younger men must avoid him. If then -he will not marry, he must be declared dead, and leave the country, -so that he may not give offence. - -5. If a man is impotent, he must openly declare that no one has -anything to fear from him, then he may come or go where he likes. - -6. If after that he commits any act of incontinence, then he must -flee away; if he does not, he may be given over to the vengeance of -those whom he has offended, and no one may aid him. - -7. Any one who commits a theft shall restore it threefold. For a -second offence he shall be sent to the tin mines. The person robbed -may forgive him if he pleases, but for a third offence no one shall -protect him. - - - - - - -THESE RULES ARE MADE FOR ANGRY PEOPLE. - - -1. If a man in a passion or out of ill will breaks another's limb -or puts out an eye or a tooth, he must pay whatever the injured -man demands. If he cannot pay, he must suffer the same injury as -he has done to the other. If he refuses this, he must appeal to the -Burgtmaagd in order to be sent to work in the iron or tin mines until -he has expiated his crime under the general law. - -2. If a man is so wicked as to kill a Frisian, he must forfeit his -own life; but if the Burgtmaagd can send him to the tin mines for -his life before he is taken, she may do so. - -3. If the prisoner can prove by proper witnesses that the death was -accidental, he may go free; but if it happens a second time, he must go -to the tin mines, in order to avoid any unseemly hatred or vengeance. - - - - - - -THESE ARE THE RULES CONCERNING BASTARDS. - - -1. If any man sets fire to another's house, he is no Frisian, he is -a bastard. If he is caught in the act, he must be thrown into the -fire; and wherever he may flee, he shall never be secure from the -avenging justice. - -2. No true Frisian shall speak ill of the faults of his neighbours. If -any man injures himself, but does no harm to others, he must be his -own judge; but if he becomes so bad that he is dangerous to others, -they must bring it before the count. But if instead of going to the -count a man accuses another behind his back, he must be put on the -pillory in the market-place, and then sent out of the country, but -not to the tin mines, because even there a backbiter is to be feared. - -3. If any man should prove a traitor and show to our enemies the paths -leading to our places of refuge, or creep into them by night, he must -be the offspring of Finda; he must be burnt. The sailors must take his -mother and all his relations to a desolate island, and there scatter -his ashes, in order that no poisonous herbs may spring from them. The -maidens must curse his name in all the states, in order that no child -may be called by his name, and that his ancestors may repudiate him. - -War had come to an end, but famine came in its place. There were -three men who each stole a sack of corn from different owners, but -they were all caught. The first owner brought his thief to the judge, -and the maidens said everywhere that he had done right. The second -owner took the corn away from his thief and let him go in peace. The -maidens said he has done well. The third owner went to the thief's -house, and when he saw what misery was there, he went and brought a -waggon-load of necessaries to relieve their distress. Frya's maidens -came around him and wrote his deed in the eternal book, and wiped -out all his sins. This was reported to the Eeremoeder, and she had -it made known over the whole country. - - - - - - -WHAT IS WRITTEN HEREUNDER IS INSCRIBED ON THE WALLS OF WARABURGT. - -(See Plate I.) - - -What appears at the top is the signs of the Juul--that is, the first -symbol of Wr-alda, also of the origin or beginning from which Time -is derived; this is the Kroder, which must always go round with the -Juul. According to this model Frya formed the set hand which she -used to write her Tex. When Fasta was Eeremoeder she made a running -hand out of it. The Witkoning--that is, the Sea-King Godfried the -Old--made separate numbers for the set hand and for the runic hand. It -is therefore not too much that we celebrate it once a year. We may be -eternally thankful to Wr-alda that he allowed his spirit to exercise -such an influence over our forefathers. - -In her time Finda also invented a mode of writing, but that was so -high-flown and full of flourishes that her descendants have soon lost -the meaning of it. - -Afterwards they learned our writing--that is, the Finns, the Thyriers, -and the Krekalanders--but they did not know that it was taken -from the Juul, and most therefore always be written round like the -sun. Furthermore, they wished that their writing should be illegible -by other people, because they always had matters to conceal. In -doing this they acted very unwisely, because their children could -only with great difficulty read the writings of their predecessors, -whereas our most ancient writings are as easy to read as those that -were written yesterday. - -Here is a specimen of the set hand and of the running hand, as well -as of the figures, in both. - -(See Plate II.) - - - - - - -THIS STANDS INSCRIBED UPON ALL CITADELS. - - -Before the bad time came our country was the most beautiful in the -world. The sun rose higher, and there was seldom frost. The trees and -shrubs produced various fruits, which are now lost. In the fields we -had not only barley, oats, and rye, but wheat which shone like gold, -and which could be baked in the sun's rays. The years were not counted, -for one was as happy as another. - -On one side we were bounded by Wr-alda's Sea, on which no one but us -might or could sail; on the other side we were hedged in by the broad -Twiskland (Tusschenland, Duitschland), through which the Finda people -dared not come on account of the thick forests and the wild beasts. - -Eastward our boundary went to the extremity of the East Sea, and -westward to the Mediterranean Sea; so that besides the small rivers -we had twelve large rivers given us by Wr-alda to keep our land moist, -and to show our seafaring men the way to his sea. - -The banks of these rivers were at one time entirely inhabited -by our people, as well as the banks of the Rhine from one end -to the other. Opposite Denmark and Jutland we had colonies and a -Burgtmaagd. Thence we obtained copper and iron, as well as tar and -pitch, and some other necessaries. Opposite to us we had Britain, -formerly Westland, with her tin mines. - -Britain was the land of the exiles, who with the help of their -Burgtmaagd had gone away to save their lives; but in order that they -might not come back they were tattooed with a B on the forehead, the -banished with a red dye, the other criminals with blue. Moreover, our -sailors and merchants had many factories among the distant Krekalanders -and in Lydia. In Lydia (Lybia) the people are black. As our country -was so great and extensive, we had many different names. Those who -were settled to the east of Denmark were called Jutten, because often -they did nothing else than look for amber (jutten) on the shore. Those -who lived in the islands were called Letten, because they lived an -isolated life. All those who lived between Denmark and the Sandval, -now the Scheldt, were called Stuurlieden (pilots), Zeekampers (naval -men), and Angelaren (fishermen). The Angelaren were men who fished in -the sea, and were so named because they used lines and hooks instead of -nets. From there to the nearest part of Krekaland the inhabitants were -called Kadhemers, because they never went to sea but remained ashore. - -Those who were settled in the higher marches bounded by Twisklanden -(Germany) were called Saxmannen, because they were always armed -against the wild beasts and the savage Britons. Besides these we had -the names Landzaten (natives of the land), Marzaten (natives of the -fens), and Woud or Hout zaten (natives of the woods). - - - - - - -HOW THE BAD TIME CAME. - - -During the whole summer the sun had been hid behind the clouds, -as if unwilling to look upon the earth. There was perpetual calm, -and the damp mist hung like a wet sail over the houses and the -marshes. The air was heavy and oppressive, and in men's hearts was -neither joy nor cheerfulness. In the midst of this stillness the -earth began to tremble as if she was dying. The mountains opened to -vomit forth fire and flames. Some sank into the bosom of the earth, -and in other places mountains rose out of the plain. Aldland, called -by the seafaring people, Atland, disappeared, and the wild waves -rose so high over hill and dale that everything was buried in the -sea. Many people were swallowed up by the earth, and others who had -escaped the fire perished in the water. - -It was not only in Finda's land that the earth vomited fire, but also -in Twiskland (Germany). Whole forests were burned one after the other, -and when the wind blew from that quarter our land was covered with -ashes. Rivers changed their course, and at their mouths new islands -were formed of sand and drift. - -During three years this continued, but at length it ceased, and -forests became visible. Many countries were submerged, and in other -places land rose above the sea, and the wood was destroyed through -the half of Twiskland (Germany). Troops of Finda's people came and -settled in the empty places. Our dispersed people were exterminated -or made slaves. Then watchfulness was doubly impressed upon us, -and time taught us that union is force. - - - - - - -THIS IS INSCRIBED ON THE WARABURGT BY THE ALDEGAMUDE. - - -The Waraburgt is not a maiden's city, but the place where all the -foreign articles brought by sailors were stored. It lies three hours -south from Medeasblik. - - - -THUS IS THE PREFACE. - -Hills, bow your heads; weep, ye streams and clouds. Yes. Schoonland -(Scandinavia) blushes, an enslaved people tramples on your garment, -O Frya. - - - -THIS IS THE HISTORY. - -One hundred and one years after the submersion of Aldland a people -came out of the East. That people was driven by another. Behind us, -in Twiskland (Germany), they fell into disputes, divided into two -parties, and each went its own way. Of the one no account has come to -us, but the other came in the back of our Schoonland, which was thinly -inhabited, particularly the upper part. Therefore they were able to -take possession of it without contest, and as they did no other harm, -we would not make war about it. Now that we have learned to know them, -we will describe their customs, and after that how matters went between -us. They were not wild people, like most of Finda's race; but, like the -Egyptians, they have priests and also statues in their churches. The -priests are the only rulers; they call themselves Magyars, and their -headman Magy. He is high priest and king in one. The rest of the people -are of no account, and in subjection to them. This people have not even -a name; but we call them Finns, because although all the festivals are -melancholy and bloody, they are so formal that we are inferior to them -in that respect. But still they are not to be envied, because they are -slaves to their priests, and still more to their creeds. They believe -that evil spirits abound everywhere, and enter into men and beasts, -but of Wr-alda's spirit they know nothing. They have weapons of stone, -the Magyars of copper. The Magyars affirm that they can exorcise -and recall the evil spirits, and this frightens the people, so that -you never see a cheerful face. When they were well established, the -Magyars sought our friendship, they praised our language and customs, -our cattle and iron weapons, which they would willingly have exchanged -for their gold and silver ornaments, and they always kept their people -within their own boundaries, and that outwitted our watchfulness. - -Eighty years afterwards, just at the time of the Juulfeest, they -overran our country like a snowstorm driven by the wind. All who -could not flee away were killed. Frya was appealed to, but the -Schoonlanders (Scandinavians) had neglected her advice. Then all -the forces were assembled, and three hours from Godasburgt they -were withstood, but war continued. Kat or Katerine was the name of -the priestess who was Burgtmaagd of Godasburgt. Kat was proud and -haughty, and would neither seek counsel nor aid from the mother; -but when the Burgtheeren (citizens) knew this, they themselves -sent messengers to Texland to the Eeremoeder. Minna--this was the -name of the mother--summoned all the sailors and the young men from -Oostflyland and Denmark. From this expedition the history of Wodin -sprang, which is inscribed on the citadels, and is here copied. At -Aldergamude there lived an old sea-king whose name was Sterik, and -whose deeds were famous. This old fellow had three nephews. Wodin, -the eldest, lived at Lumkamakia, near the Eemude, in Oostflyland, -with his parents. He had once commanded troops. Teunis and Inka were -naval warriors, and were just then staying with their father at -Aldergamude. When the young warriors had assembled together, they -chose Wodin to be their leader or king, and the naval force chose -Teunis for their sea-king and Inka for their admiral. The navy then -sailed to Denmark, where they took on board Wodin and his valiant host. - -The wind was fair, so they arrived immediately in Schoonland. When the -northern brothers met together, Wodin divided his powerful army into -three bodies. Frya was their war-cry, and they drove back the Finns -and Magyars like children. When the Magy heard how his forces had -been utterly defeated, he sent messengers with truncheon and crown, -who said to Wodin: O almighty king, we are guilty, but all that we -have done was done from necessity. You think that we attacked your -brothers out of ill will, but we were driven out by our enemies, who -are still at our heels. We have often asked your Burgtmaagd for help, -but she took no notice of us. The Magy says that if we kill half our -numbers in fighting with each other, then the wild shepherds will come -and kill all the rest. The Magy possesses great riches, but he has -seen that Frya is much more powerful than all our spirits together. He -will lay down his head in her lap. You are the most warlike king on -the earth, and your people are of iron. Become our king, and we will -all be your slaves. What glory it would be for you if you could drive -back the savages! Our trumpets would resound with your praises, and -the fame of your deeds would precede you everywhere. Wodin was strong, -fierce, and warlike, but he was not clear-sighted, therefore he was -taken in their toils, and crowned by the Magy. - -Very many of the sailors and soldiers to whom this proceeding was -displeasing went away secretly, taking Kat with them. But Kat, who did -not wish to appear before either the mother or the general assembly, -jumped overboard. Then a storm arose and drove the ships upon the -banks of Denmark, with the total destruction of their crews. This -strait was afterwards called the Kattegat. When Wodin was crowned, -he attacked the savages, who were all horsemen, and fell upon Wodin's -troops like a hailstorm; but like a whirl-wind they were turned back, -and did not dare to appear again. When Wodin returned, Magy gave him -his daughter to wife. Whereupon he was incensed with herbs; but they -were magic herbs, and by degrees he became so audacious that he dared -to disavow and ridicule the spirits of Frya and Wr-alda, while he -bent his free head before the false and deceitful images. His reign -lasted seven years, and then he disappeared. The Magy said that he -was taken up by their gods and still reigned over us, but our people -laughed at what they said. When Wodin had disappeared some time, -disputes arose. We wished to choose another king, but the Magy would -not permit it. He asserted that it was his right given him by his -idols. But besides this dispute there was one between the Magyars and -Finns, who would honour neither Frya nor Wodin; but the Magy did just -as he pleased, because his daughter had a son by Wodin, and he would -have it that this son was of high descent. While all were disputing and -quarrelling, he crowned the boy as king, and set up himself as guardian -and counsellor. Those who cared more for themselves than for justice -let him work his own way, but the good men took their departure. Many -Magyars fled back with their troops, and the sea-people took ship, -accompanied by a body of stalwart Finns as rowers. - -Next comes upon the stage the history of Neef Teunis and Neef Inka. - - - - - - -ALL THIS IS INSCRIBED NOT ONLY ON THE WARABURGT, BUT ALSO ON THE -BURGT STAVIA, WHICH LIES BEHIND THE PORT OF STAVRE. - - -When Teunis wished to return home, he went first towards Denmark; -but he might not land there, for so the mother had ordered, nor -was he to land at Flyland nor anywhere about there. In this way he -would have lost all his people by want and hardship, so he landed -at night to steal and sailed on by day. Thus coasting along, he at -length arrived at the colony of Kadik (Cadiz), so called because it -was built with a stone quay. Here they bought all kinds of stores, -but Tuntia the Burgtmaagd would not allow them to settle there. When -they were ready they began to disagree. Teunis wished to sail through -the straits to the Mediterranean Sea, and enter the service of the -rich Egyptian king, as he had done before, but Inka said he had had -enough of all those Finda's people. Inka thought that perchance some -high-lying part of Atland might remain as an island, where he and -his people might live in peace. As the two cousins could not agree, -Teunis planted a red flag on the shore, and Inka a blue flag. Every -man could choose which he pleased, and to their astonishment the -greater part of the Finns and Magyars followed Inka, who had objected -to serve the kings of Finda's people. When they had counted the people -and divided the ships accordingly, the fleet separated. We shall hear -of Teunis afterwards, but nothing more of Inka. - -Neef Teunis coasted through the straits to the Mediterranean -Sea. When Atland was submerged there was much suffering also on -the shores of the Mediterranean, on which account many of Finda's -people, Krekalanders, and people from Lyda's land, came to us. On -the other hand, many of our people went to Lyda's land. The result -of all this was that the Krekalanders far and wide were lost to the -superintendence of the mother. Teunis had reckoned on this, and had -therefore wished to find there a good haven from which he might go -and serve under the rich princes; but as his fleet and his people had -such a shattered appearance, the inhabitants on the coasts thought -that they were pirates, and drove them away. At last they arrived -at the Phoenician coast, one hundred and ninety-three years after -Atland was submerged. Near the coast they found an island with two -deep bays, so that there appeared to be three islands. In the middle -one they established themselves, and afterwards built a city wall -round the place. Then they wanted to give it a name, but disagreed -about it. Some wanted to call it Fryasburgt, others Neeftunia; but -the Magyars and Finns begged that it might be called Thyrhisburgt. - -Thyr was the name of one of their idols, and it was upon his feast-day -that they had landed there; and in return they offered to recognise -Teunis as their perpetual king. Teunis let himself be persuaded, and -the others would not make any quarrel about it. When they were well -established, they sent some old seamen and Magyars on an expedition as -far as the town of Sidon; but at first the inhabitants of the coast -would have nothing to do with them, saying, You are only foreign -adventurers whom we do not respect. But when we sold them some of -our iron weapons, everything went well. They also wished to buy our -amber, and their inquiries about it were incessant. But Teunis, who was -far-seeing, pretended that he had no more iron weapons or amber. Then -merchants came and begged him to let them have twenty vessels, which -they would freight with the finest goods, and they would provide as -many people to row as he would require. Twelve ships were then laden -with wine, honey, tanned leather, and saddles and bridles mounted in -gold, such as had never been seen before. - -Teunis sailed to the Flymeer with all this treasure, which so -enchanted the Grevetman of Westflyland that he induced Teunis to -build a warehouse at the mouth of the Flymeer. Afterwards this place -was called Almanaland, and the market where they traded at Wyringen -was called Toelaatmarkt. The mother advised that they should sell -everything except iron weapons, but no attention was paid to what she -said. As the Thyriers had thus free play, they came from far and near -to take away our goods, to the loss of our seafaring people. Therefore -it was resolved in a general assembly to allow only seven Thyrian -ships and no more in a year. - - - - - - -WHAT THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS WAS. - - -In the northernmost part of the Mediterranean there lies an island -close to the coast. They now came and asked to buy that, on which a -general council was held. - -The mother's advice was asked, and she wished to see them at -some distance, so she saw no harm in it; but as we afterwards -saw what a mistake we had made, we called the island Missellia -(Marseilles). Hereafter will be seen what reason we had. The Golen, -as the missionary priests of Sidon were called, had observed that -the land there was thinly peopled, and was far from the mother. In -order to make a favourable impression, they had themselves called -in our language followers of the truth; but they had better have -been called abstainers from the truth, or, in short, "Triuwenden," -as our seafaring people afterwards called them. When they were well -established, their merchants exchanged their beautiful copper weapons -and all sorts of jewels for our iron weapons and hides of wild beasts, -which were abundant in our southern countries; but the Golen celebrated -all sorts of vile and monstrous festivals, which the inhabitants -of the coast promoted with their wanton women and sweet poisonous -wine. If any of our people had so conducted himself that his life was -in danger, the Golen afforded him a refuge, and sent him to Phonisia, -that is, Palmland. When he was settled there, they made him write to -his family, friends, and connections that the country was so good and -the people so happy that no one could form any idea of it. In Britain -there were plenty of men, but few women. When the Golen knew this, -they carried off girls everywhere and gave them to the Britons for -nothing. So all these girls served their purpose to steal children -from Wr-alda in order to give them to false gods. - - - - - - -NOW WE WILL WRITE ABOUT THE WAR BETWEEN THE BURGTMAAGDEN KALTA AND -MIN-ERVA, - -And how we thereby lost all our southern lands and Britain to the -Golen. - - -Near the southern mouth of the Rhine and the Scheldt there are seven -islands, named after Frya's seven virgins of the week. In the middle -of one island is the city of Walhallagara (Middelburg), and on the -walls of this city the following history is inscribed. Above it are -the words "Read, learn, and watch." - -Five hundred and sixty-three years after the submersion of Atland--that -is, 1600 years before Christ--a wise town priestess presided here, -whose name was Min-erva--called by the sailors Nyhellenia. This name -was well chosen, for her counsels were new and clear above all others. - -On the other side of the Scheldt, at Flyburgt, Sijrhed presided. This -maiden was full of tricks. Her face was beautiful, and her tongue -was nimble; but the advice that she gave was always conveyed in -mysterious terms. Therefore the mariners called her Kalta, and the -landsmen thought it was a title. In the last will of the dead mother, -Rosamond was named first, Min-erva second, and Sijrhed third in -succession. Min-erva did not mind that, but Sijrhed was very much -offended. Like a foreign princess, she wished to be honoured, feared, -and worshipped; but Min-erva only desired to be loved. At last all -the sailors, even from Denmark and Flymeer, did homage to her. This -hurt Sijrhed, because she wanted to excel Min-erva. In order to -give an impression of her great watchfulness, she had a cock put -on her banner. So then Min-erva went and put a sheep-dog and an owl -on her banner. The dog, she said, guards his master and his flock, -and the owl watches that the mice shall not devastate the fields; -but the cock in his lewdness and his pride is only fit to murder his -nearest relations. When Kalta found that her scheme had failed she -was still more vexed, so she secretly sent for the Magyars to teach -her conjuring. When she had had enough of this she threw herself into -the hands of the Gauls; but all her malpractices did not improve her -position. When she saw that the sailors kept more and more aloof from -her, she tried to win them back by fear. At the full moon, when the -sea was stormy, she ran over the wild waves, calling to the sailors -that they would all be lost if they did not worship her. Then she -blinded their eyes, so that they mistook land for water and water for -land, and in this way many a good ship was totally lost. At the first -war-feast, when all her countrymen were armed, she brought casks of -beer, which she had drugged. When they were all drunk she mounted her -war-horse, leaning her head upon her spear. Sunrise could not be more -beautiful. When she saw that the eyes of all were fixed upon her, -she opened her lips and said:-- - -Sons and daughters of Frya, you know that in these last times we have -suffered much loss and misery because the sailors no longer come to -buy our paper, but you do not know what the reason of it is. I have -long kept silence about it, but can do so no longer. Listen, then, -my friends, that you may know on which side to show your teeth. On -the other side of the Scheldt, where from time to time there come -ships from all parts, they make now paper from pumpkin leaves, by -which they save flax and outdo us. Now, as the making of paper was -always our principal industry, the mother willed that people should -learn it from us; but Min-erva has bewitched all the people--yes, -bewitched, my friends--as well as all our cattle that died lately. I -must come out with it. If I were not Burgtmaagd, I should know what -to do. I should burn the witch in her nest. - -As soon as she had uttered these words she sped away to her citadel; -but the drunken people were so excited that they did not stop to weigh -what they had heard. In mad haste they hurried over the Sandfal, -and as night came on they burst into the citadel. However, Kalta -again missed her aim; for Min-erva, her maidens, and her lamp were -all saved by the alertness of the seamen. - - - - - - -WE NOW COME TO THE HISTORY OF JON. - - -Jon, Jôn, Jhon, Jan, are all the same name, though the pronunciation -varies, as the seamen like to shorten everything to be able to make -it easier to call. Jon--that is, "Given"--was a sea-king, born at -Alberga, who sailed from the Flymeer with a fleet of 127 ships fitted -out for a long voyage, and laden with amber, tin, copper, cloth, linen, -felt, otter-skins, beaver and rabbit skins. He would also have taken -paper from here, but when he saw how Kalta had destroyed the citadel -he became so angry that he went off with all his people to Flyburgt, -and out of revenge set fire to it. His admiral and some of his people -saved the lamp and the maidens, but they could not catch Sijrhed -(or Kalta). She climbed up on the furthest battlement, and they -thought she must be killed in the flames; but what happened? While -all her people stood transfixed with horror, she appeared upon her -steed more beautiful than ever, calling to them, "To Kalta!" Then the -other Schelda people poured out towards her. When the seamen saw that, -they shouted, "We are for Min-erva!" from which arose a war in which -thousands were killed. - -At this time Rosamond the mother, who had done all in her power by -gentle means to preserve peace, when she saw how bad it was, made -short work of it. Immediately she sent messengers throughout all -the districts to call a general levy, which brought together all -the defenders of the country. The landsmen who were fighting were -all caught, but Jon with his seamen took refuge on board his fleet, -taking with him the two lamps, as well as Min-erva and the maidens -of both the citadels. Helprik, the chief, summoned him to appear; -but while all the soldiers were on the other side of the Scheldt, -Jon sailed back to the Flymeer, and then straight to our islands. His -fighting men and many of our people took women and children on board, -and when Jon saw that he and his people would be punished for their -misdeeds, he secretly took his departure. He did well, for all our -islanders, and the other Scheldt people who had been fighting were -transported to Britain. This step was a mistake, for now came the -beginning of the end. Kalta, who, people said, could go as easily on -the water as on the land, went to the mainland and on to Missellia -(Marseilles). Then came the Gauls out of the Mediterranean Sea with -their ships to Cadiz, and along all our coasts, and fell upon Britain; -but they could not make any good footing there, because the government -was powerful and the exiles were still Frisians. But now came Kalta and -said: You were born free, and for small offences have been sent away, -not for your own improvement, but to get tin by your labour. If you -wish to be free again, and take my advice, and live under my care, -come away. I will provide you with arms, and will watch over you. The -news flew through the land like lightning, and before the carrier's -wheel had made one revolution she was mistress of all the Thyriers -in all our southern states as far as the Seine. She built herself a -citadel on the high land to the north, and called it Kaltasburgh. It -still exists under the name of Kêrenak. From this castle she ruled -as a true mother, against their will, not for her followers, but over -them, who were thenceforth called Kelts. The Gauls gradually obtained -dominion over the whole of Britain, partly because they no longer -had any citadel; secondly, because they had there no Burgtmaagden; -and thirdly, because they had no real lamps. From all these causes -the people could not learn anything. They were stupid and foolish, -and having allowed the Gauls to rob them of their arms, they were -led about like a bull with a ring in his nose. - - - - - - -NOW WE SHALL WRITE HOW IT FARED WITH JON. - -IT IS INSCRIBED AT TEXLAND. - - -Ten years after Jon went away, there arrived three ships in the -Flymeer; the people cried Huzza! (What a blessing!) and from their -accounts the mother had this written. - -When Jon reached the Mediterranean Sea, the reports of the Gauls had -preceded him, so that on the nearest Italian coast he was nowhere -safe. Therefore he went with his fleet straight over to Lybia. There -the black men wanted to catch them and eat them. At last they came -to Tyre, but Min-erva said, Keep clear, for here the air has been -long poisoned by the priests. The king was a descendant of Teunis, -as we were afterwards informed; but as the priests wished to have a -king, who, according to their ideas, was of long descent, they deified -Teunis, to the vexation of his followers. After they had passed Tyre, -the Tyrians seized one of the rearmost ships, and as the ship was -too far behind us, we could not take it back again; but Jon swore to -be revenged for it. When night came, Jon bent his course towards the -distant Krekalanden. At last they arrived at a country that looked -very barren, but they found a harbour there. Here, said Min-erva, -we need not perhaps have any fear of princes or priests, as they -always look out for rich fat lands. When they entered the harbour, -there was not room for all the ships, and yet most of the people were -too cowardly to go any further. Then Jon, who wished to get away, went -with his spear and banner, calling to the young people, to know who -would volunteer to share his adventures. Min-erva did the same thing, -but she wished to remain there. The greater part stopped with Min-erva, -but the young sailors went with Jon. Jon took the lamp of Kalta and -her maidens with him. Min-erva retained her lamp and her own maidens. - -Between the near and the distant coasts of Italy Jon found some -islands, which he thought desirable. Upon the largest he built a city -in the wood between the mountains. From the smaller islands he made -expeditions for vengeance on the Tyrians, and plundered their ships -and their lands. Therefore these islands were called Insulæ Piratarum, -as well as Johannis Insulæ. - -When Min-erva had examined the country which is called by the -inhabitants Attica, she saw that the people were all goatherds, -and that they lived on meat, wild roots, herbs, and honey. They were -clothed in skins, and had their dwellings on the slopes (hellinga) -of the hills, wherefore they were called Hellingers. At first they -ran away, but when they found that we did not attack them, they came -back and showed great friendship. Min-erva asked if we might settle -there peaceably. This was agreed to on the condition that we should -help them to fight against their neighbours, who came continually to -carry away their children and to rob their dwellings. Then we built -a citadel at an hour's distance from the harbour. By the advice of -Min-erva it was called Athens, because, she said, those who come -after us ought to know that we are not here by cunning or violence, -but were received as friends (âtha). While we were building the citadel -the principal personages came to see us, and when they saw that we had -no slaves it did not please them, and they gave her to understand it, -as they thought that she was a princess. But Min-erva said, How did -you get your slaves? They answered, We bought some and took others -in war. Min-erva replied, If nobody would buy slaves they would not -steal your children, and you would have no wars about it. If you wish -to remain our allies, you will free your slaves. The chiefs did not -like this, and wanted to drive us away; but the most enlightened of -the people came and helped us to build our citadel, which was built -of stone. - -This is the history of Jon and of Min-erva. - -When they had finished their story they asked respectfully for iron -weapons; for, said they, our foes are powerful, but if we have good -arms we can withstand them. When this had been agreed to, the people -asked if Frya's customs would flourish in Athens and in other parts -of Greece (Krekalanden). The mother answered, If the distant Greeks -belong to the direct descent of Frya, then they will flourish; but if -they do not descend from Frya, then there will be a long contention -about it, because the carrier must make five thousand revolutions of -his Juul before Finda's people will be ripe for liberty. - - - - - - -THIS IS ABOUT THE GEERTMEN. - -When Hellenia or Min-erva died, the priests pretended to be with us, -and in order to make it appear so, they deified Hellenia. They refused -to have any other mother chosen, saying that they feared there was -no one among her maidens whom they could trust as they had trusted -Min-erva, surnamed Nyhellenia. - -But we would not recognise Min-erva as a goddess, because she herself -had told us that no one could be perfectly good except the spirit of -Wr-alda. Therefore we chose Geert Pyre's daughter for our mother. When -the priests saw that they could not fry their herrings on our fire -(have everything their own way), they left Athens, and said that we -refused to acknowledge Min-erva as a goddess out of envy, because she -had shown so much affection to the natives. Thereupon they gave the -people statues of her, declaring that they might ask of them whatever -they liked, as long as they were obedient to her. By these kinds -of tales the stupid people were estranged from us, and at last they -attacked us; but as we had built our stone city wall with two horns -down to the sea, they could not get at us. Then, lo and behold! an -Egyptian high priest, bright of eye, clear of brain, and enlightened -of mind, whose name was Cecrops, came to give them advice. - -When he saw that with his people he could not storm our wall, he sent -messengers to Tyre. Thereupon there arrived three hundred ships full -of wild mountain soldiers, which sailed unexpectedly into our haven -while we were defending the walls. When they had taken our harbour, -the wild soldiers wanted to plunder the village and our ships--one -had already ravished a girl--but Cecrops would not permit it; and -the Tyrian sailors, who still had Frisian blood in their veins, said, -If you do that we will burn our ships, and you shall never see your -mountains again. Cecrops, who had no inclination towards murder -or devastation, sent messengers to Geert, requiring her to give -up the citadel, offering her free exit with all her live and dead -property, and her followers the same. The wisest of the citizens, -seeing that they could not hold the citadel, advised Geert to accept -at once, before Cecrops became furious and changed his mind. Three -months afterwards Geert departed with the best of Frya's sons, and -seven times twelve ships. Soon after they had left the harbour they -fell in with at least thirty ships coming from Tyre with women and -children. They were on their way to Athens, but when they heard how -things stood there they went with Geert. The sea-king of the Tyrians -brought them altogether through the strait which at that time ran -into the Red Sea (now re-established as the Suez Canal). At last -they landed at the Punjab, called in our language the Five Rivers, -because five rivers flow together to the sea. Here they settled, and -called it Geertmania. The King of Tyre afterwards, seeing that all -his best sailors were gone, sent all his ships with his wild soldiers -to catch them, dead or alive. When they arrived at the strait, both -the sea and the earth trembled. The land was upheaved so that all the -water ran out of the strait, and the muddy shores were raised up like -a rampart. This happened on account of the virtues of the Geertmen, -as every one can plainly understand. - - - - - - -IN THE YEAR ONE THOUSAND AND FIVE AFTER ATLAND WAS SUBMERGED, THIS -WAS INSCRIBED ON THE EASTERN WALL OF FRYASBURGT. - - -After twelve years had elapsed without our seeing any Italians in -Almanland, there came three ships, finer than any that we possessed -or had ever seen. - -On the largest of them was a king of the Jonischen Islands whose name -was Ulysses, the fame of whose wisdom was great. To him a priestess -had prophesied that he should become the king of all Italy provided he -could obtain a lamp that had been lighted at the lamp in Texland. For -this purpose he had brought great treasures with him, above all, -jewels for women more beautiful than had ever been seen before. They -were from Troy, a town that the Greeks had taken. All these treasures -he offered to the mother, but the mother would have nothing to do with -them. At last, when he found that there was nothing to be got from -her, he went to Walhallagara (Walcheren). There there was established -a Burgtmaagd whose name was Kaat, but who was commonly called Kalip, -because her lower lip stuck out like a mast-head. Here he tarried for -years, to the scandal of all that knew it. According to the report -of the maidens, he obtained a lamp from her; but it did him no good, -because when he got to sea his ship was lost, and he was taken up -naked and destitute by another ship. There was left behind by this -king a writer of pure Frya's blood, born in the new harbour of Athens, -who wrote for us what follows about Athens, from which may be seen -how truly the mother Hel-licht spoke when she said that the customs -of Frya could never take firm hold in Athens. - -From the other Greeks you will have heard a great deal of bad about -Cecrops, because he was not in good repute; but I dare affirm that he -was an enlightened man; very renowned both among the inhabitants and -among us, for he was against oppression, unlike the other priests, -and was virtuous, and knew how to value the wisdom of distant -nations. Knowing that, he permitted us to live according to our own -Asegaboek. There was a story current that he was favourable to us -because he was the son of a Frisian girl and an Egyptian priest: the -reason of this was that he had blue eyes, and that many of our girls -had been stolen and sold to Egypt, but he never confirmed this. However -it may have been, certain it is that he showed us more friendship than -all the other priests together. When he died, his successors soon began -to tear up our charters, and gradually to enact so many unsuitable -statutes that at long last nothing remained of liberty but the shadow -and the name. Besides, they would not allow the laws to be written, -so that the knowledge of them was hidden from us. Formerly all the -cases in Athens were pleaded in our language, but afterwards in both -languages, and at last in the native language only. At first the men of -Athens only married women of our own race, but the young men as they -grew up with the girls of the country took them to wife. The bastard -children of this connection were the handsomest and cleverest in the -world; but they were likewise the wickedest, wavering between the two -parties, paying no regard to laws or customs except where they suited -their own interests. As long as a ray of Frya's spirit existed, all -the building materials were for common use, and no one might build a -house larger or better than his neighbours; but when some degenerate -townspeople got rich by sea-voyages and by the silver that their slaves -got in the silver countries, they went to live out on the hills or -in the valleys. There, behind high enclosures of trees or walls, -they built palaces with costly furniture, and in order to remain -in good odour with the nasty priests, they placed there likenesses -of false gods and unchaste statues. Sometimes the dirty priests and -princes wished for the boys rather than the girls, and often led them -astray from the paths of virtue by rich presents or by force. Because -riches were more valued by this lost and degenerate race than virtue -or honour, one sometimes saw boys dressed in splendid flowing robes, -to the disgrace of their parents and maidens, and to the shame of -their own sex. If our simple parents came to a general assembly at -Athens and made complaints, a cry was raised, Hear, hear! there is -a sea-monster going to speak. Such is Athens become, like a morass -in a tropical country full of leeches, toads, and poisonous snakes, -in which no man of decent habits can set his foot. - - - - - - -THIS IS INSCRIBED IN ALL OUR CITADELS. - - -How our Denmark was lost to us 1602 years after the submersion of -Atland. Through the mad wantonness of Wodin, Magy had become master -of the east part of Scandinavia. They dare not come over the hills -and over the sea. The mother would not prevent it. She said, I see -no danger in their weapons, but much in taking the Scandinavians -back again, because they are so degenerate and spoilt. The general -assembly were of the same opinion. Therefore it was left to him. A -good hundred years ago Denmark began to trade; they gave their iron -weapons in exchange for gold ornaments, as well as for copper and -iron-ore. The mother sent messengers to advise them to have nothing -to do with this trade. There was danger to their morals in it, and if -they lost their morals they would soon lose their liberty. But the -Denmarkers paid no attention to her. They did not believe that they -could lose their morals, therefore they would not listen to her. At -last they were at a loss themselves for weapons and necessaries, and -this difficulty was their punishment. Their bodies were brilliantly -adorned, but their cupboards and their sheds were empty. Just one -hundred years after the first ship with provisions sailed from -the coast, poverty and want made their appearance, hunger spread -her wings all over the country, dissension marched proudly about -the streets and into the houses, charity found no place, and unity -departed. The child asked its mother for food; she had no food to -give, only jewels. The women applied to their husbands, the husbands -appealed to the counts; the counts had nothing to give, or if they had, -they hid it away. Now the jewels must be sold, but while the sailors -were away for that purpose, the frost came and laid a plank upon the -sea and the strait (the Sound). When the frost had made the bridge, -vigilance ceased in the land, and treachery took its place. Instead -of watching on the shores, they put their horses in their sledges -and drove off to Scandinavia. Then the Scandinavians, who hungered -after the land of their forefathers, came to Denmark. One bright -night they all came. Now, they said, we have a right to the land of -our fathers; and while they were fighting about it, the Finns came to -the defenceless villages and ran away with the children. As they had -no good weapons, they lost the battle, and with it their freedom, -and Magy became master. All this was the consequence of their not -reading Frya's Tex, and neglecting her counsels. There are some who -think that they were betrayed by the counts, and that the maidens -had long suspected it; but if any one attempted to speak about it, -his mouth was shut by golden chains. - -We can express no opinion about it, we can only say to you, Do not -trust too much to the wisdom of your princes or of your maidens; -but if you wish to keep things straight, everybody must watch over -his own passions, as well as the general welfare. - -Two years afterwards Magy himself came with a fleet of light boats -to steal the lamp from the mother of Texland. This wicked deed he -accomplished one stormy winter night, while the wind roared and the -hail rattled against the windows. The watchman on the tower hearing -the noise, lighted his torch. As soon as the light from the tower fell -upon the bastion, he saw that already armed men had got over the wall. - -He immediately gave the alarm, but it was too late. Before the guard -was ready, there were two thousand people battering the gate. The -struggle did not last long. As the guard had not kept a good watch, -they were overwhelmed. While the fight was going on, a rascally -Finn stole into the chamber of the mother, and would have done her -violence. She resisted him, and threw him down against the wall. When -he got up, he ran his sword through her: If you will not have me, -you shall have my sword. A Danish soldier came behind him and clave -his head in two. There came from it a stream of black blood and a -wreath of blue flame. - -The Magy had the mother nursed on his own ship. As soon as she was well -enough to speak clearly, the Magy told her that she must sail with him, -but that she should keep her lamp and her maidens, and should hold a -station higher than she had ever done before. Moreover, he said that -he should ask her, in presence of all his chief men, if he would become -the ruler of all the country and people of Frya; that she must declare -and affirm this, or he would let her die a painful death. Then, when -he had gathered all his chiefs around her bed, he asked, in a loud -voice, Frana, since you are a prophetess, shall I become ruler over -all the lands and people of Frya? Frana did as if she took no notice -of him; but at last she opened her lips, and said: My eyes are dim, -but the other light dawns upon my soul. Yes, I see it. Hear, Irtha, -and rejoice with me. At the time of the submersion of Atland, the -first spoke of the Juul stood at the top. After that it went down, -and our freedom with it. When two spokes, or two thousand years, -shall have rolled down, the sons shall arise who have been bred -of the fornication of the princes and priests with the people, and -shall witness against their fathers. They shall all fall by murder, -but what they have proclaimed shall endure, and shall bear fruit in -the bosoms of able men, like good seed which is laid in thy lap. Yet a -thousand years shall the spoke descend, and sink deeper in darkness, -and in the blood shed over you by the wickedness of the princes and -priests. After that, the dawn shall begin to glow. When they perceive -this, the false princes and priests will strive and wrestle against -freedom; but freedom, love, and unity will take the people under their -protection, and rise out of the vile pool. The light which at first -only glimmered shall gradually become a flame. The blood of the bad -shall flow over your surface, but you must not absorb it. At last -the poisoned animals shall eat it, and die of it. All the stories -that have been written in praise of the princes and priests shall -be committed to the flames. Thenceforth your children shall live in -peace. When she had finished speaking she sank down. - -The Magy, who had not understood her, shrieked out, I have asked -you if I should become master of all the lands and people of Frya, -and now you have been speaking to another. Frana raised herself up, -stared at him, and said, Before seven days have passed your soul -shall haunt the tombs with the night-birds, and your body shall be at -the bottom of the sea. Very good, said the Magy, swelling with rage; -say that I am coming. Then he said to his executioners, Throw this -woman overboard. This was the end of the last of the mothers. We do -not ask for revenge. Time will provide that; but a thousand thousand -times we will call with Frya, Watch! watch! watch! - - - - - - -HOW IT FARED AFTERWARDS WITH THE MAGY. - - -After the murder of the mother, he brought the lamp and the -maidens into his own ship, together with all the booty that he -chose. Afterwards he went up the Flymeer because he wished to take -the maiden of Medeasblik or Stavoren and install her as mother; -but there they were on their guard. The seafaring men of Stavoren -and Alderga would gladly have gone to Jon, but the great fleet was -out on a distant voyage; so they proceeded in their small fleet to -Medeasblik, and kept themselves concealed in a sheltered place behind -trees. The Magy approached Medeasblik in broad daylight; nevertheless, -his men boldly stormed the citadel. But as they landed from the boats, -our people sallied forth from the creek, and shot their arrows with -balls of burning turpentine upon the fleet. They were so well aimed -that many of the ships were instantly on fire. Those left to guard -the ships shot at us, but they could not reach us. When at last a -burning ship drifted towards the ship of the Magy, he ordered the man -at the helm to sheer off, but this man was the Dane who had cleft the -head of the Finn. He said, You sent our Eeremoeder to the bottom of -the sea to say that you were coming. In the bustle of the fight you -might forget it; now I will take care that you keep your word. The -Magy tried to push him off, but the sailor, a real Frisian and strong -as an ox, clutched his head with both hands, and pitched him into -the surging billows. Then he hoisted up his brown shield, and sailed -straight to our fleet. Thus the maidens came unhurt to us; but the -lamp was extinguished, and no one knew how that had happened. When -those on the uninjured ships heard that the Magy was drowned, they -sailed away, because their crews were Danes. When the fleet was far -enough off, our sailors turned and shot their burning arrows at the -Finns. When the Finns saw that, and found that they were betrayed, -they fell into confusion, and lost all discipline and order. At this -moment the garrison sallied forth from the citadel. Those who resisted -were killed, and those who fled found their death in the marshes of -the Krylinger wood. - - - - - - -POSTSCRIPT. - - -When the sailors were in the creek, there was a wag from Stavoren -among them, who said, Medea may well laugh if we rescue her from -her citadel. Upon this, the maidens gave to the creek the name Medea -mêilakkia (Lake of Medea). The occurrences that happened after this -everybody can remember. The maidens ought to relate it in their -own way, and have it well inscribed. We consider that our task is -fulfilled. Hail! - - - THE END OF THE BOOK. - - - - - - -THE WRITINGS OF ADELBROST AND APOLLONIA. - - -My name is Adelbrost, the son of Apol and Adela. I was elected by my -people as Grevetman over the Lindaoorden. Therefore I will continue -this book in the same way as my mother has spoken it. - -After the Magy was killed and Fryasburgt was restored, a mother -had to be chosen. The mother had not named her successor, and her -will was nowhere to be found. Seven months later a general assembly -was called at Grênegâ (Groningen), because it was on the boundary of -Saxamarken. My mother was chosen, but she would not be the mother. She -had saved my father's life, in consequence of which they had fallen -in love with each other, and she wished to marry. Many people wished -my mother to alter her decision, but she said an Eeremoeder ought to -be as pure in her conscience as she appears outwardly, and to have -the same love for all her children. Now, as I love Apol better than -anything else in the world, I cannot be such a mother. Thus spoke and -reasoned Adela, but all the other maidens wished to be the mother. Each -state was in favour of its own maiden, and would not yield. Therefore -none was chosen, and the kingdom was without any restraint. From what -follows you will understand Liudgert, the king who had lately died, -had been chosen in the lifetime of the mother, and seemingly with -the love and confidence of all the states. It was his turn to live -at the great court of Dokhem, and in the lifetime of the mother -great honour was done to him there, as there were more messengers -and knights there than had ever been seen there before. But now he -was lonely and forsaken, because every one was afraid that he would -set himself above the law, and rule them like the slave kings. Every -headman imagined that he did enough if he looked after his own state, -and did not care for the others. With the Burgtmaagden it was still -worse. Each of them depended upon her own judgment, and whenever a -Grevetman did anything without her, she raised distrust between him -and his people. If any case happened which concerned several states, -and one maid had been consulted, the rest all exclaimed that she had -spoken only in the interest of her own state. By such proceedings -they brought disputes among the states, and so severed the bond of -union that the people of one state were jealous of those of the rest, -or at least considered them as strangers; the consequence of which -was that the Gauls or Truwenden (Druids) took possession of our lands -as far as the Scheldt, and the Magy as far as the Wesara. How this -happened my mother has explained, otherwise this book would not have -been written, although I have lost all hope that it would be of any -use. I do not write in the hope that I shall win back the land or -preserve it: in my opinion that is impossible. I write only for the -future generations, that they may all know in what way we were lost, -and that each may learn that every crime brings its punishment. - -My name is Apollonia. Two-and-thirty days after my mother's death -my brother Adelbrost was found murdered on the wharf, his skull -fractured and his limbs torn asunder. My father, who lay ill, died of -fright. Then my younger brother, Apol, sailed from here to the west -side of Schoonland. There he built a citadel named Lindasburgt, in -order there to avenge our wrong. Wr-alda accorded him many years for -that. He had five sons, who all caused fear to Magy, and brought fame -to my brother. After the death of my mother and my brother, all the -bravest of the land joined together and made a covenant, called the -Adelbond. In order to preserve us from injury, they brought me and my -youngest brother, Adelhirt, to the burgt--me to the maidens, and him to -the warriors. When I was thirty years old I was chosen as Burgtmaagd, -and my brother at fifty was chosen Grevetman. From mother's side my -brother was the sixth, but from father's side the third. By right, -therefore, his descendants could not put "overa Linda" after their -names, but they all wished to do it in honour of their mother. In -addition to this, there was given to us also a copy of "The Book of -Adela's Followers." That gave me the most pleasure, because it came -into the world by my mother's wisdom. In the burgt I have found other -writings also in praise of my mother. All this I will write afterwards. - -These are the writings left by Bruno, who was the writer of this -burgt. After the followers of Adela had made copies, each in his -kingdom, of what was inscribed upon the walls of the burgt, they -resolved to choose a mother. For this purpose a general assembly -was called at this farm. By the first advice of Adela, Teuntje was -recommended. That would have been arranged, only that my Burgtmaagd -asked to speak: she had always supposed that she would be chosen -mother, because she was at the burgt from which mothers had generally -been chosen. When she was allowed to speak, she opened her false -lips and said: You all seem to place great value on Adela's advice, -but that shall not shut my mouth. Who is Adela, and whence comes it -that you respect her so highly? She was what I am now, a Burgtmaagd -of this place; is she, then, wiser and better than I and all the -others? or is she more conversant with our laws and customs? If that -had been the case, she would have become mother when she was chosen; -but instead of that, she preferred matrimony to a single life, watching -over herself and her people. She is certainly very clear-sighted, -but my eyes are far from being dim. I have observed that she is very -much attached to her husband, which is very praiseworthy; but I see, -likewise, that Teuntje is Apol's niece. Further I say nothing. - -The principal people understood very well which way the wind -blew with her; but among the people there arose disputes, and as -most of the people came from here, they would not give the honour -to Teuntje. The conferences were ended, knives were drawn, and no -mother was chosen. Shortly afterwards one of our messengers killed his -comrade. As he had been a man of good character hitherto, my Burgtmaagd -had permission to help him over the frontier; but instead of helping -him over to Twiskland (Germany), she fled with him herself to Wesara, -and then to the Magy. The Magy, who wished to please his sons of Frya, -appointed her mother of Godaburgt, in Schoonland; but she wished for -more, and she told him that if he could get Adela out of the way -he might become master of the whole of Frya's land. She said she -hated Adela for having prevented her from being chosen mother. If -he would promise her Texland, her messenger should serve as guide to -his warriors. All this was confessed by her messenger. - - - - - - -THE SECOND WRITING. - - -Fifteen months after the last general assembly, at the festival of the -harvest month, everybody gave himself up to pleasure and merry-making, -and no one thought of anything but diversion; but Wr-alda wished -to teach us that watchfulness should never be relaxed. In the -midst of the festivities the fog came and enveloped every place in -darkness. Cheerfulness melted away, but watchfulness did not take its -place. The coastguard deserted their beacons, and no one was to be -seen on any of the paths. When the fog rose, the sun scarcely appeared -among the clouds; but the people all came out shouting with joy, and -the young folks went about singing to their bagpipes, filling the air -with their melody. But while every one was intoxicated with pleasure, -treachery had landed with its horses and riders. As usual, darkness -had favoured the wicked, and they had slipped in through the paths -of Linda's wood. Before Adela's door twelve girls led twelve lambs, -and twelve boys led twelve calves. A young Saxon bestrode a wild bull -which he had caught and tamed. They were decked with all kinds of -flowers, and the girls' dresses were fringed with gold from the Rhine. - -When Adela came out of her house, a shower of flowers fell on her head; -they all cheered loudly, and the fifes of the boys were heard over -everything. Poor Adela! poor people! how short will be your joy! When -the procession was out of sight, a troop of Magyar soldiers rushed -up to Adela's house. Her father and her husband were sitting on the -steps. The door was open, and within stood Adelbrost her son. When he -saw the danger of his parents, he took his bow from the wall and shot -the leader of the pirates, who staggered and fell on the grass. The -second and third met a similar fate. In the meantime his parents had -seized their weapons, and went slowly to Jon's house. They would soon -have been taken, but Adela came. She had learned in the burgt to use -all kinds of weapons. She was seven feet high, and her sword was the -same length. She waved it three times over her head, and each time -a knight bit the earth. Reinforcements came, and the pirates were -made prisoners; but too late--an arrow had penetrated her bosom! The -treacherous Magy had poisoned it, and she died of it. - - - - - - -THE ELEGY OF THE BURGTMAAGD. - - -Yes, departed friend, thousands are arrived, and more are coming. They -wish to hear the wisdom of Adela. Truly, she was a princess, for she -had always been the leader. O Sorrow, what good can you do! - -Her garments of linen and wool she spun and wove herself. How -could she add to her beauty? Not with pearls, for her teeth were -more white; not with gold, for her tresses were more brilliant; not -with precious stones, for her eyes, though soft as those of a lamb, -were so lustrous that you could scarcely look into them. But why -do I talk of beauty? Frya was certainly not more beautiful; yes, my -friends, Frya, who possessed seven perfections, of which each of her -daughters inherited one, or at most three. But even if she had been -ugly, she would still have been dear to us. Is she warlike? Listen, my -friend. Adela was the only daughter of our Grevetman. She stood seven -feet high. Her wisdom exceeded her stature, and her courage was equal -to both together. Here is an instance. There was once a turf-ground on -fire. Three children got upon yonder gravestone. There was a furious -wind. The people were all shouting, and the mother was helpless. Then -came Adela. What are you all standing still here for? she cried. Try -to help them, and Wr-alda will give you strength. Then she ran -to the Krylwood and got some elder branches, of which she made a -bridge. The others then came to assist her, and the children were -saved. The children bring flowers to the place every year. There came -once three Phoenician sailors, who began to ill-treat the children, -when Adela, having heard their screams, beat the scoundrels till they -were insensible, and then, to prove to them what miserable wretches -they were, she tied them all three to a spindle. - -The foreign lords came to look after their people, and when they saw -how ridiculously they had been treated they were very angry, till -they were told what had happened. Upon that they bowed themselves -before Adela, and kissed the hem of her garment. But come, distant -living friend. The birds of the forest fled before the numerous -visitors. Come, friend, and you shall hear her wisdom. By the -gravestone of which mention has already been made her body is -buried. Upon the stone the following words are inscribed:-- - - - Tread softly, for here lies Adela. - - -The old legend which is written on the outside wall of the city tower -is not written in "The Book of Adela's Followers." Why this has been -neglected I do not know; but this book is my own, so I will put it -in out of regard to my relations. - - - - - - -THE OLDEST DOCTRINE. - - -Hail to all the well-intentioned children of Frya! Through them the -earth shall become holy. Learn and announce to the people Wr-alda is -the ancient of ancients, for he created all things. Wr-alda is all in -all, for he is eternal and everlasting. Wr-alda is omnipresent but -invisible, and therefore is called a spirit. All that we can see of -him are the created beings who come to life through him and go again, -because from Wr-alda all things proceed and return to him. Wr-alda is -the beginning and the end. Wr-alda is the only almighty being, because -from him all other strength comes, and returns to him. Therefore -he alone is the creator, and nothing exists without him. Wr-alda -established eternal principles, upon which the laws of creation were -founded, and no good laws could stand on any other foundation. But -although everything is derived from Wr-alda, the wickedness of men -does not come from him. Wickedness comes from heaviness, carelessness, -and stupidity; therefore they may well be injurious to men, but never -to Wr-alda. Wr-alda is wisdom, and the laws that he has made are the -books from which we learn, nor is any wisdom to be found or gathered -but in them. Men may see a great deal, but Wr-alda sees everything. Men -can learn a great deal, but Wr-alda knows everything. Men can discover -much, but to Wr-alda everything is open. Mankind are male and female, -but Wr-alda created both. Mankind love and hate, but Wr-alda alone -is just. Therefore Wr-alda is good, and there is no good without -him. In the progress of time all creation alters and changes, but -goodness alone is unalterable; and since Wr-alda is good, he cannot -change. As he endures, he alone exists; everything else is show. - - - - - - -THE SECOND PART OF THE OLDEST DOCTRINE. - - -Among Finda's people there are false teachers, who, by their -over-inventiveness, have become so wicked that they make themselves -and their adherents believe that they are the best part of Wr-alda, -that their spirit is the best part of Wr-alda's spirit, and that -Wr-alda can only think by the help of their brains. - -That every creature is a part of Wr-alda's eternal being, that they -have stolen from us; but their false reasoning and ungovernable pride -have brought them on the road to ruin. If their spirit was Wr-alda's -spirit, then Wr-alda would be very stupid, instead of being sensible -and wise; for their spirit labours to create beautiful statues, -which they afterwards worship. Finda's people are a wicked people, -for although they presumptuously pretend among themselves that they -are gods, they proclaim the unconsecrated false gods, and declare -everywhere that these idols created the world and all that therein -is--greedy idols, full of envy and anger, who desire to be served -and honoured by the people, and who exact bloody sacrifices and rich -offerings; but these presumptuous and false men, who call themselves -God's servants and priests, receive and collect everything in the -name of the idols that have no real existence, for their own benefit. - -They do all this with an easy conscience, as they think themselves -gods not answerable to any one. If there are some who discover their -tricks and expose them, they hand them over to the executioners to -be burnt for their calumnies, with solemn ceremonies in honour of the -false gods; but really in order to save themselves. In order that our -children may be protected against their idolatrous doctrine, the duty -of the maidens is to make them learn by heart the following: Wr-alda -existed before all things, and will endure after all things. Wr-alda -is also eternal and everlasting, therefore nothing exists without -him. From Wr-alda's life sprang time and all living things, and his -life takes away time and every other thing. These things must be made -clear and manifest in every way, so that they can be made clear and -comprehensible to all. When we have learned thus much, then we say -further: In what regards our existence, we are a part of Wr-alda's -everlasting being, like the existence of all created beings; but as -regards our form, our qualities, our spirit, and all our thoughts, -these do not belong to the being. All these are passing things which -appear through Wr-alda's life, and which appear through his wisdom, -and not otherwise; but whereas his life is continually progressing, -nothing can remain stationary, therefore all created things change -their locality, their form, and their thoughts. So neither the earth -nor any other created object can say, I am; but rather, I was. So no -man can say, I think; but rather, I thought. The boy is greater and -different from the child; he has different desires, inclinations, -and thoughts. The man and father feels and thinks differently from -the boy, the old man just the same. Everybody knows that. Besides, -everybody knows and must acknowledge that he is now changing, that he -changes every minute even while he says, I am, and that his thoughts -change even while he says, I think. Instead, then, of imitating -Finda's wicked people, and saying, I am the best part of Wr-alda, -and through us alone he can think, we proclaim everywhere where it -is necessary, We, Frya's children, exist through Wr-alda's life--in -the beginning mean and base, but always advancing towards perfection -without ever attaining the excellence of Wr-alda himself. Our spirit -is not Wr-alda's spirit, it is merely a shadow of it. When Wr-alda -created us, he lent us his wisdom, brains, organs, memory, and many -other good qualities. By this means we are able to contemplate his -creatures and his laws; by this means we can learn and can speak of -them always, and only for our own benefit. If Wr-alda had given us -no organs, we should have known nothing, and been more irrational -than a piece of sea-weed driven up and down by the ebb and flood. - - - - - - -THIS IS WRITTEN ON PARCHMENT--"SKRIVFILT." SPEECH AND ANSWER TO OTHER -MAIDENS AS AN EXAMPLE. - - -An unsociable, avaricious man came to complain to Troost, who was the -maid of Stavia. He said a thunderstorm had destroyed his house. He -had prayed to Wr-alda, but Wr-alda had given him no help. Are you -a true Frisian? Troost asked. From father and forefathers, replied -the man. Then she said, I will sow something in your conscience, -in confidence that it will take root, grow, and bear fruit. She -continued, When Frya was born, our mother stood naked and bare, -unprotected from the rays of the sun. She could ask no one, and -there was no one who could give her any help. Then Wr-alda wrought -in her conscience inclination and love, anxiety and fright. She -looked round her, and her inclination chose the best. She sought a -hiding-place under the sheltering lime-trees, but the rain came, and -the difficulty was that she got wet. She had seen how the water ran -down the pendent leaves; so she made a roof of leaves fastened with -sticks, but the wind blew the rain under it. She observed that the -stem would afford protection. She then built a wall of sods, first on -one side, and then all round. The wind grew stronger and blew away the -roof, but she made no complaint of Wr-alda. She made a roof of rushes, -and put stones upon it. Having found how hard it is to toil alone, -she showed her children how and why she had done it. They acted and -thought as she did. This is the way in which we became possessed -of houses and porches, a street, and lime-trees to protect us from -the rays of the sun. At last we have built a citadel, and all the -rest. If your house is not strong enough, then you must try and make -another. My house was strong enough, he said, but the flood and the -wind destroyed it. Where did your house stand? Troost asked. On the -bank of the Rhine, he answered. Did it not stand on a knoll? Troost -asked. No, said the man; my house stood alone on the bank. I built -it alone, but I could not alone make a hillock. I knew it, Troost -answered; the maidens told me. All your life you have avoided your -neighbours, fearing that you might have to give or do something for -them; but one cannot get on in the world in that way, for Wr-alda, -who is kind, turns away from the niggardly. Fâsta has advised us, -and it is engraved in stone over all our doors. If you are selfish, -distrustful towards your neighbours, teach your neighbours, help your -neighbours, and they will return the same to you. If this advice is -not good enough for you, I can give you no better. The man blushed -for shame, and slunk away. - - - - - - -NOW I WILL WRITE MYSELF, FIRST ABOUT MY CITADEL, AND THEN ABOUT WHAT -I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE. - - -My city lies near the north end of the Liudgaarde. The tower has six -sides, and is ninety feet high, flat-roofed, with a small house upon -it out of which they look at the stars. On either side of the tower -is a house three hundred feet long, and twenty-one feet broad, and -twenty-one feet high, besides the roof, which is round. All this is -built of hard-baked bricks, and outside there is nothing else. The -citadel is surrounded by a dyke, with a moat thirty-six feet broad -and twenty-one feet deep. If one looks down from the tower, he sees -the form of the Juul. In the ground among the houses on the south -side all kinds of native and foreign herbs grow, of which the maidens -must study the qualities. Among the houses on the north side there -are only fields. The three houses on the north are full of corn and -other necessaries; the two houses on the south are for the maidens -to live in and keep school. The most southern house is the dwelling -of the Burgtmaagd. In the tower hangs the lamp. The walls of the -tower are decorated with precious stones. On the south wall the Tex -is inscribed. On the right side of this are the formulæ, and on the -other side the laws; the other things are found upon the three other -sides. Against the dyke, near the house of the Burgtmaagd, stand the -oven and the mill, worked by four oxen. Outside the citadel wall is the -place where the Burgtheeren and the soldiers live. The fortification -outside is an hour long--not a seaman's hour, but an hour of the sun, -of which twenty-four go to a day. Inside it is a plain five feet -below the top. On it are three hundred crossbows covered with wood -and leather. - -Besides the houses of the inhabitants, there are along the inside -of the dyke thirty-six refuge-houses for the people who live in the -neighbourhood. The field serves for a camp and for a meadow. On the -south side of the outer fortification is the Liudgaarde, enclosed by -the great wood of lime-trees. Its shape is three-cornered, with the -widest part outside, so that the sun may shine in it, for there are a -great number of foreign trees and flowers brought by the seafarers. All -the other citadels are the same shape as ours, only not so large; -but the largest of all is that of Texland. The tower of the Fryaburgt -is so high that it rends the sky, and all the rest is in proportion -to the tower. In our citadel this is the arrangement: Seven young -maidens attend to the lamp; each watch is three hours. In the rest of -their time they do housework, learn, and sleep. When they have watched -for seven years, they are free; then they may go among the people, -to look after their morals and to give advice. When they have been -three years maidens, they may sometimes accompany the older ones. - -The writer must teach the girls to read, to write, and to reckon. The -elders, or "Greva," must teach them justice and duty, morals, botany, -and medicine, history, traditions, and singing, besides all that may be -necessary for them to give advice. The Burgtmaagd must teach them how -to set to work when they go among the people. Before a Burgtmaagd can -take office, she must travel through the country a whole year. Three -grey-headed Burgtheeren and three old maidens must go with her. This -was the way that I did. My journey was along the Rhine--on this side -up, and on the other side down. The higher I went, the poorer the -people seemed to be. Everywhere about the Rhine the people dug holes, -and the sand that was got out was poured with water over fleeces to -get the gold, but the girls did not wear golden crowns of it. Formerly -they were more numerous, but since we lost Schoonland they have gone -up to the mountains. There they dig ore and make iron. Above the Rhine -among the mountains I have seen Marsaten. The Marsaten are people who -live on the lakes. Their houses are built upon piles, for protection -from the wild beasts and wicked people. There are wolves, bears, and -horrible lions. Then come the Swiss, the nearest to the frontiers of -the distant Italians, the followers of Kalta and the savage Twiskar, -all greedy for robbery and booty. The Marsaten gain their livelihood -by fishing and hunting. The skins are sewn together by the women, -and prepared with birch bark. The small skins are as soft as a woman's -skin. The Burgtmaagd at Fryasburgt (Freiburg) told us that they were -good, simple people; but if I had not heard her speak of them first, -I should have thought that they were not Frya's people, they looked -so impudent. Their wool and herbs are bought by the Rhine people, and -taken to foreign countries by the ship captains. Along the other side -of the Rhine it was just the same as at Lydasburcht (Leiden). There -was a great river or lake, and upon this lake also there were people -living upon piles. But they were not Frya's people; they were black -and brown men who had been employed as rowers to bring home the men -who had been making foreign voyages, and they had to stay there till -the fleet went back. - -At last we came to Alderga. At the head of the south harbour lies the -Waraburgt, built of stone, in which all kinds of clothes, weapons, -shells, and horns are kept, which were brought by the sea-people from -distant lands. A quarter of an hour's distance from there is Alderga, -a great river surrounded by houses, sheds, and gardens, all richly -decorated. In the river lay a great fleet ready, with banners of -all sorts of colours. On Frya's day the shields were hung on board -likewise. Some shone like the sun. The shields of the sea-king and -the admiral were bordered with gold. From the river a canal was dug -going past the citadel Forana (Vroonen), with a narrow outlet to the -sea. This was the egress of the fleet; the Fly was the ingress. On -both sides of the river are fine houses built, painted in bright -colours. The gardens are all surrounded by green hedges. I saw there -women wearing felt tunics, as if it were writing felt. [3] Just as at -Staveren, the girls wore golden crowns on their heads, and rings on -their arms and ankles. To the south of Forana lies Alkmarum. Alkmarum -is a lake or river in which there is an island. On this island the -black and brown people must remain, the same as at Lydasburgt. The -Burgtmaagd of Forana told me that the burgtheeren go every day to teach -them what real freedom is, and how it behoves men to live in order to -obtain the blessing of Wr-alda's spirit. If there was any one who was -willing to listen and could comprehend, he was kept there till he was -fully taught. That was done in order to instruct the distant people, -and to make friends everywhere. I had been before in the Saxenmarken, -at the Mannagardaforde castle (Munster). There I saw more poverty -than I could discover wealth here. She answered: So whenever at -the Saxenmarken a young man courts a young girl, the girls ask: Can -you keep your house free from the banished Twisklanders? Have you -ever killed any of them? How many cattle have you already caught, -and how many bear and wolfskins have you brought to market? And -from this it comes that the Saxons have left the cultivation of -the soil to the women, that not one in a hundred can read or write; -from this it comes, too, that no one has a motto on his shield, but -only a misshapen form of some animal that he has killed; and lastly, -from this comes also that they are very warlike, but sometimes as -stupid as the beasts that they catch, and as poor as the Twisklanders -with whom they go to war. The earth and the sea were made for Frya's -people. All our rivers run into the sea. The Lydas people and the -Findas people will exterminate each other, and we must people the -empty countries. In movement and sailing is our prosperity. If you -wish the highlanders to share our riches and wisdom, I will give -you a piece of advice. Let the girls, when they are asked to marry, -before they say yes, ask their lovers: What parts of the world have -you travelled in? What can you tell your children about distant lands -and distant people? If they do this, then the young warriors will -come to us; they will become wiser and richer, and we shall have no -occasion to deal with those nasty people. The youngest of the maids -who were with me came from the Saxenmarken. When we came back she -asked leave to go home. Afterwards she became Burgtmaagd there, and -that is the reason why in these days so many of our sailors are Saxons. - - - END OF APOLLONIA'S BOOK. - - - - - - -THE WRITINGS OF FRÊTHORIK AND WILJOW. - - -My name is Frêthorik, surnamed oera Linda, which means over the -Linden. In Ljudwardia I was chosen as Asga. Ljudwardia is a new -village within the fortification of the Ljudgaarda, of which the -name has fallen into disrepute. In my time much has happened. I had -written a good deal about it, but afterwards much more was related to -me. I will write an account of both one and the other after this book, -to the honour of the good people and to the disgrace of the bad. - -In my youth I heard complaints on all sides. The bad time was coming; -the bad time did come--Frya had forsaken us. She withheld from us all -her watch-maidens, because monstrous idolatrous images had been found -within our landmarks. I burnt with curiosity to see those images. In -our neighbourhood a little old woman tottered in and out of the houses, -always calling out about the bad times. I came to her; she stroked -my chin; then I became bold, and asked her if she would show me the -bad times and the images. She laughed good-naturedly, and took me -to the citadel. An old man asked me if I could read and write. No, -I said. Then you must first go and learn, he replied, otherwise it -may not be shown to you. I went daily to the writer and learnt. Eight -years afterwards I heard that our Burgtmaagd had been unchaste, and -that some of the burgtheeren had committed treason with the Magy, and -many people took their part. Everywhere disputes arose. There were -children rebelling against their parents; good people were secretly -murdered. The little old woman who had brought everything to light -was found dead in a ditch. My father, who was a judge, would have -her avenged. He was murdered in the night in his own house. Three -years after that the Magy was master without any resistance. The -Saxmen had remained religious and upright. All the good people fled -to them. My mother died of it. Now I did like the others. The Magy -prided himself upon his cunning, but Irtha made him know that she -would not tolerate any Magy or idol on the holy bosom that had borne -Frya. As a wild horse tosses his mane after he has thrown his rider, -so Irtha shook her forests and her mountains. Rivers flowed over the -land; the sea raged; mountains spouted fire to the clouds, and what -they vomited forth the clouds flung upon the earth. At the beginning -of the Arnemaand (harvest month) the earth bowed towards the north, -and sank down lower and lower. In the Welvenmaand (winter month) -the low lands of Fryasland were buried under the sea. The woods in -which the images were, were torn up and scattered by the wind. The -following year the frost came in the Hardemaand (Louwmaand, January), -and laid Fryasland concealed under a sheet of ice. In Sellemaand -(Sprokkelmaand, February) there were storms of wind from the north, -driving mountains of ice and stones. When the spring-tides came the -earth raised herself up, the ice melted; with the ebb the forests -with the images drifted out to sea. In the Winne, or Minnemaand -(Bloeimaand, May), every one who dared went home. I came with a maiden -to the citadel Liudgaarde. How sad it looked there. The forests of -the Lindaoorden were almost all gone. Where Liudgaarde used to be was -sea. The waves swept over the fortifications. Ice had destroyed the -tower, and the houses lay heaped over each other. On the slope of the -dyke I found a stone on which the writer had inscribed his name. That -was a sign to me. The same thing had happened to other citadels as -to ours. In the upper lands they had been destroyed by the earth, in -the lower lands by the water. Fryasburgt, at Texland, was the only one -found uninjured, but all the land to the north was sunk under the sea, -and has never been recovered. At the mouth of the Flymeer, as we were -told, thirty salt swamps were found, consisting of the forest and the -ground that had been swept away. At Westflyland there were fifty. The -canal which had run across the land from Alderga was filled up with -sand and destroyed. The seafaring people and other travellers who -were at home had saved themselves, their goods, and their relations -upon their ships. But the black people at Lydasburgt and Alkmarum -had done the same; and as they went south they saved many girls, and -as no one came to claim them, they took them for their wives. The -people who came back all lived within the lines of the citadel, as -outside there was nothing but mud and marsh. The old houses were all -smashed together. People bought cattle and sheep from the upper lands, -and in the great houses where formerly the maidens were established -cloth and felt were made for a livelihood. This happened 1888 years -after the submersion of Atland. - -For 282 years we had not had an Eeremoeder, and now, when everything -seemed lost, they set about choosing one. The lot fell upon Gosa, -surnamed Makonta. She was Burgtmaagd at Fryasburgt, in Texland. She -had a clear head and strong sense, and was very good; and as her -citadel was the only one that had been spared, every one saw in that -her call. Ten years after that the seafarers came from Forana and -Lydasburgt. They wished to drive the black men, with their wives and -children, out of the country. They wished to obtain the opinion of -the mother upon the subject. She asked them: Can you send them all -back to their country? If so, then lose no time, or they will find -no relatives alive. No, they said. Gosa replied: They have eaten -your bread and salt; they have placed themselves entirely under -your protection. You must consult your own hearts. But I will give -you one piece of advice. Keep them till you are able to send them -back, but keep them outside your citadels. Watch over their morals, -and educate them as if they were Frya's sons. Their women are the -strongest here. Their blood will disappear like smoke, till at last -nothing but Frya's blood will remain in their descendants. So they -remained here. Now, I should wish that my descendants should observe -in how far Gosa spoke the truth. When our country began to recover, -there came troops of poor Saxon men and women to the neighbourhoods -of Staveren and Alderga, to search for gold and other treasures in -the swampy lands. But the sea-people would not permit it, so they -went and settled in the empty village of the West Flyland in order -to preserve their lives. - - - - - - -NOW I WILL RELATE HOW THE GEERTMAN AND MANY FOLLOWERS OF HELLENIA -CAME BACK. - - -Two years after Gosa had become the mother (303 B.C.) there -arrived a fleet at Flymeer. The people shouted "Ho-n-sêen" (What a -blessing). They sailed to Staveren, where they shouted again. Their -flags were hoisted, and at night they shot lighted arrows into the -air. At daylight some of them rowed into the harbour in a boat, -shouting again, "Ho-n-sêen." When they landed a young fellow jumped -upon the rampart. In his hand he held a shield on which bread and salt -were laid. After him came a grey-headed man, who said we come from -the distant Greek land to preserve our customs. Now we wish you to -be kind enough to give us as much land as will enable us to live. He -told a long story, which I will hereafter relate more fully. The old -man did not know what to do. They sent messengers all round, also to -me. I went, and said now that we have a mother it behoves us to ask -her advice. I went with them myself. The mother, who already knew -it all, said: Let them come, they will help us to keep our lands, -but do not let them remain in one place, that they may not become -too powerful over us. We did as she said, which was quite to their -liking. Fryso remained with his people at Staveren, which they made -again into a port as well as they could. Wichhirte went with his people -eastwards to the Emude. Some of the descendants of Jon who imagined -that they sprang from the Alderga people went there. A small number, -who fancied that their forefathers had come from the seven islands, -went there and set themselves down within the enclosure of the citadel -of Walhallagara. Liudgert, the admiral of Wichhirt, was my comrade, -and afterwards my friend. Out of his diary I have taken the following -history. - -After we had been settled 12 times 100 and twice 12 years in the Five -Waters (Punjab), whilst our naval warriors were navigating all the -seas they could find, came Alexander the King, with a powerful army -descending the river towards our villages. No one could withstand him; -but we sea-people, who lived by the sea, put all our possessions on -board ships and took our departure. When Alexander heard that such -a large fleet had escaped him, he became furious, and swore that -he would burn all the villages if we did not come back. Wichhirte -was ill in bed. When Alexander heard that, he waited till he was -better. After that he came to him, speaking very kindly--but he -deceived, as he had done before. Wichhirte answered: Oh greatest of -kings, we sailors go everywhere; we have heard of your great deeds, -therefore we are full of respect for your arms, and still more for -your wisdom; but we who are free-born Fryas children, we may not -become your slaves; and even if I would, the others would sooner -die, for so it is commanded in our laws. Alexander said: I do not -desire to take your land or make slaves of your people, I only wish -to hire your services. That I will swear by both our Gods, so that -no one may be dissatisfied. When Alexander shared bread and salt -with him, Wichhirte had chosen the wisest part. He let his son fetch -the ships. When they were all come back Alexander hired them all. By -means of them he wished to transport his people to the holy Ganges, -which he had not been able to reach. Then he chose among all his -people and soldiers those who were accustomed to the sea. Wichhirte -had fallen sick again, therefore I went alone with Nearchus, sent by -the king. The voyage came to an end without any advantage, because the -Joniers and the Phoenicians were always quarrelling, so that Nearchus -himself could not keep them in order. In the meantime, the king had -not sat still. He had let his soldiers cut down trees and make planks, -with which, with the help of our carpenters, he had built ships. Now he -would himself become a sea-king, and sail with his whole army up the -Ganges; but the soldiers who came from the mountainous countries were -afraid of the sea. When they heard that they must sail, they set fire -to the timber yards, and so our whole village was laid in ashes. At -first we thought that this had been done by Alexander's orders, and -we were all ready to cast ourselves into the sea: but Alexander was -furious, and wished his own people to kill the soldiers. However, -Nearchus, who was not only his chief officer, but also his friend, -advised him not to do so. So he pretended to believe that it had -happened by accident, and said no more about it. He wished now -to return, but before going he made an inquiry who really were the -guilty ones. As soon as he ascertained it, he had them all disarmed, -and made them build a new village. His own people he kept under arms to -overawe the others, and to build a citadel. We were to take the women -and children with us. When we arrived at the mouth of the Euphrates, -we might either choose a place to settle there or come back. Our pay -would be guaranteed to us the same in either case. Upon the new ships -which had been saved from the fire he embarked the Joniers and the -Greeks. He himself went with the rest of his people along the coast, -through the barren wilderness; that is, through the land that Irtha -had heaved up out of the sea when she had raised up the strait as -soon as our forefathers had passed into the Red Sea. - -When we arrived at New Gertmania (New Gertmania is the port that -we had made in order to take in water), we met Alexander with his -army. Nearchus went ashore, and stayed three days. Then we proceeded -further on. When we came to the Euphrates, Nearchus went ashore -with the soldiers and a large body of people; but he soon returned, -and said, The King requests you, for his sake, to go a voyage up -the Red Sea; after that each shall receive as much gold as he can -carry. When we arrived there, he showed us where the strait had -formerly been. There he spent thirty-one days, always looking steadily -towards the desert. - -At last there arrived a great troop of people, bringing with them 200 -elephants, 1000 camels, a quantity of timber, ropes, and all kinds of -implements necessary to drag our fleet to the Mediterranean Sea. This -astounded us, and seemed most extraordinary; but Nearchus told us that -his king wished to show to the other kings that he was more powerful -than any kings of Tyre had ever been. We were only to assist, and that -surely could do us no harm. We were obliged to yield, and Nearchus -knew so well how to regulate everything, that before three months -had elapsed our ships lay in the Mediterranean Sea. When Alexander -ascertained how his project had succeeded, he became so audacious -that he wished to dig out the dried-up strait in defiance of Irtha; -but Wr-alda deserted his soul, so that he destroyed himself by wine -and rashness before he could begin it. After his death his kingdom -was divided among his princes. They were each to have preserved a -share for his sons, but that was not their intention. Each wished -to keep his own share, and to get more. Then war arose, and we could -not return. Nearchus wished us to settle on the coast of Phoenicia, -but that no one would do. We said we would rather risk the attempt to -return to Fryasland. Then he brought us to the new port of Athens, -where all the true children of Frya had formerly gone. We went, -soldiers with our goods and weapons. Among the many princes Nearchus -had a friend named Antigonus. These two had only one object in view, -as they told us--to help the royal race, and to restore freedom to -all the Greek lands. Antigonus had, among many others, one son named -Demetrius, afterwards called the "City Winner." He went once to the -town of Salamis, and after he had been some time fighting there, he -had an engagement with the fleet of Ptolemy. Ptolemy was the name of -the prince who reigned over Egypt. Demetrius won the battle, not by -his own soldiers, but because we helped him. We had done this out -of friendship for Nearchus, because we knew that he was of bastard -birth by his white skin, blue eyes, and fair hair. Afterwards, -Demetrius attacked Rhodes, and we transported thither his soldiers -and provisions. When we made our last voyage to Rhodes, the war -was finished. Demetrius had sailed to Athens. When we came into the -harbour, the whole village was in deep mourning. Friso, who was king -over the fleet, had a son and a daughter so remarkably fair, as if -they had just come out of Fryasland, and more beautiful than any one -could picture to himself. The fame of this went all over Greece, and -came to the ears of Demetrius. Demetrius was vile and immoral, and -thought he could do as he pleased. He carried off the daughter. The -mother did not dare await the return of her joi (the sailors wives -call their husbands joi or zoethart (sweetheart). The men call their -wives troost (comfort) and fro or frow, that is, vreuyde (delight) -and frolic; that is the same as vreugde.) - -As she dared not wait for her husband's return, she went with her -son to Demetrius, and implored him to send back her daughter; but -when Demetrius saw the son he had him taken to his palace, and did -to him as he had done to his sister. He sent a bag of gold to the -mother, which she flung into the sea. When she came home she was out -of her mind, and ran about the streets calling out: Have you seen my -children. Woe is me! let me find a place to hide in, for my husband -will kill me because I have lost his children. - -When Demetrius heard that Friso had come home, he sent messengers -to him to say that he had taken his children to raise them to high -rank, and to reward him for his services. But Friso was proud and -passionate, and sent a messenger with a letter to his children, in -which he recommended them to accept the will of Demetrius, as he -wished to promote their happiness; but the messenger had another -letter with poison, which he ordered them to take: But, said he, -your bodies have been defiled against your will. That you are not to -blame for; but if your souls are not pure, you will never come into -Walhalla. Your spirits will haunt the earth in darkness. Like the bats -and owls, you will hide yourselves in the daytime in holes, and in -the night will come and shriek and cry about our graves, while Frya -must turn her head away from you. The children did as their father -had commanded. The messenger had their bodies thrown into the sea, -and it was reported that they had fled. Now Friso wished to go with -all his people to Frya's land, where he had been formerly, but most of -them would not go. So Friso set fire to the village and all the royal -storehouses; then no one could remain there, and all were glad to be -out of it. We left everything behind us except wives and children, -but we had an ample stock of provisions and warlike implements. - -Friso was not yet satisfied. When we came to the old harbour, he went -off with his stout soldiers and threw fire into all the ships that -he could reach with his arrows. Six days later we saw the war-fleet -of Demetrius coming down upon us. Friso ordered us to keep back the -small ships in a broad line, and to put the large ships with the women -and children in front. Further, he ordered us to take the crossbows -that were in the fore part and fix them on the sterns of the ships, -because, said he, we must fight a retreating battle. No man must -presume to pursue a single enemy--that is my order. While we were -busy about this, all at once the wind came ahead, to the great alarm -of the cowards and the women, because we had no slaves except those -who had voluntarily followed us. Therefore we could not escape the -enemy by rowing. But Wr-alda knew well why he did this; and Friso, -who understood it, immediately had the fire-arrows placed on the -crossbows. At the same time he gave the order that no one should shoot -before he did, and that we should all aim at the centre ship. If we -succeeded in this, he said, the others would all go to its assistance, -and then everybody might shoot as he best was able. When we were at -a cable and a half distance from them the Phoenicians began to shoot, -but Friso did not reply till the first arrow fell six fathoms from his -ship. Then he fired, and the rest followed. It was like a shower of -fire; and as our arrows went with the wind, they all remained alight -and reached the third line. Everybody shouted and cheered, but the -screams of our opponents were so loud that our hearts shrank. When -Friso thought that it was sufficient he called us off, and we sped -away; but after two days' slow sailing another fleet of thirty ships -came in sight and gained upon us. Friso cleared for action again, -but the others sent forward a small rowing-boat with messengers, -who asked permission to sail with us, as they were Joniers. They -had been compelled by Demetrius to go to the old haven; there they -had heard of the battle, and girding on their stout swords, had -followed us. Friso, who had sailed a good deal with the Joniers, -said Yes; but Wichirte, our king, said No. The Joniers, said he, -are worshippers of heathen gods; I myself have heard them call upon -them. That comes from their intercourse with the real Greeks, Friso -said. I have often done it myself, and yet I am as pious a Fryas man -as any of you. Friso was the man to take us to Friesland, therefore -the Joniers went with us. It seems that this was pleasing to Wr-alda, -for before three months were past we coasted along Britain, and three -days later we could shout huzza. - - - - - - -THIS WRITING HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME ABOUT NORTHLAND AND SCHOONLAND -(SCANDINAVIA). - - -When our land was submerged I was in Schoonland. It was very bad -there. There were great lakes which rose from the earth like bubbles, -then burst asunder, and from the rents flowed a stuff like red-hot -iron. The tops of high mountains fell and destroyed whole forests -and villages. I myself saw one mountain torn from another and fall -straight down. When I afterwards went to see the place there was -a lake there. When the earth was composed there came a duke of -Lindasburgt with his people, and one maiden who cried everywhere, -Magy is the cause of all the misery that we have suffered. They -continued their progress, and their hosts increased. The Magy fled, -and his corpse was found where he had killed himself. Then the Finns -were driven to one place where they might live. There were some of -mixed blood who were allowed to stay, but most of them went with the -Finns. The duke was chosen as king. The temples which had remained -whole were destroyed. Since that time the good Northmen come often to -Texland for the advice of the mother; still we cannot consider them -real Frisians. In Denmark it has certainly happened as with us. The -sea-people, who call themselves famous sea-warriors, went on board -their ships, and afterwards went back again. - - Hail! - -Whenever the Carrier has completed a period, then posterity shall -understand that the faults and misdeeds that the Brokmannen have -brought with them belonged to their forefathers; therefore I will -watch, and will describe as much of their manners as I have seen. The -Geertmannen I can readily pass by. I have not had much to do with them, -but as far as I have seen they have mostly retained their language and -customs. I cannot say that of the others. Those who descend from the -Greeks speak a bad language, and have not much to boast of in their -manners. Many have brown eyes and hair. They are envious and impudent, -and cowardly from superstition. When they speak, they put the words -first that ought to come last. For old they at; for salt, sât; and for -man, ma--too many to mention. They also use abbreviations of names, -which have no meaning. The Joniers speak better, but they drop the -H, and put it where it ought not to be. When they make a statue of -a dead person they believe that the spirit of the departed enters -into it; therefore they have hidden their statues of Frya, Fâsta, -Medea, Thiania, Hellenia, and many others. When a child is born, all -the relatives come together and pray to Frya to send her servants to -bless the child. When they have prayed, they must neither move nor -speak. If the child begins to cry, and continues some time, it is a -bad sign, and they suspect that the mother has committed adultery. I -have seen very bad things come from that. If the child sleeps, that -is a good sign--Frya's servants are come. If it laughs in its sleep, -the servants have promised it happiness. Moreover, they believe in bad -spirits, witches, sorcerers, dwarfs, and elves, as if they descended -from the Finns. Herewith I will finish, and I think I have written -more than any of my forefathers. Frethorik. - -Frethorik, my husband, lived to the age of 63. Since 108 years he -is the first of his race who died a peaceable death; all the others -died by violence, because they all fought with their own people, -and with foreigners for right and duty. - -My name is Wiljo. I am the maiden who came home with him from -Saxsenmarken. In the course of conversation it came out that we -were both of Adela's race--thus our affection commenced, and we -became man and wife. He left me with five children, two sons and -three daughters. Konreed was my eldest son, Hachgana my second. My -eldest daughter is called Adela, my second Frulik, and the youngest -Nocht. When I went to Saxsenmarken I preserved three books--the book -of songs, the book of narratives, and the Hellenia book. - -I write this in order that people may not think they were by -Apollonia. I have had a good deal of annoyance about this, and -therefore now wish to have the honour of it. I also did more. When -Gosa Makonta died, whose goodness and clear-sightedness have become -a proverb, I went alone to Texland to copy the writings that she had -left; and when the last will of Frana was found, and the writings -left by Adela or Hellenia, I did that again. These are the writings -of Hellenia. I have put them first because they are the oldest. - - - HAIL TO ALL TRUE FRISIANS. - - -In the olden times, the Slavonic race knew nothing of liberty. They -were brought under the yoke like oxen. They were driven into the -bowels of the earth to dig metals, and had to build houses of stone as -dwelling-places for princes and priests. Of all that they did nothing -came to themselves, everything must serve to enrich and make more -powerful the priests and the princes, and to satisfy them. Under this -treatment they grew gray and old before their time, and died without -any enjoyment; although the earth produces abundantly for the good of -all her children. But our runaways and exiles came through Twiskland -to their boundaries, and our sailors came to their harbours. From -them they heard of liberty, of justice, and laws, without which -men cannot exist. This was all absorbed by the unhappy people like -dew into an arid soil. When they fully understood this, the most -courageous among them began to clank their chains, which grieved the -princes. The princes are proud and warlike; there is therefore some -virtue in their hearts. They consulted together and bestowed some of -their superfluity; but the cowardly hypocritical priests could not -suffer this. Among their false gods they had invented also wicked -cruel monsters. Pestilence broke out in the country; and they said -that the gods were angry with the domineering of the wicked. Then the -boldest of the people were strangled in their chains. The earth drank -their blood, and that blood produced corn and fruits that inspired -with wisdom those who ate them. - -Sixteen hundred years ago (she writes, 593 B.C.), Atland was submerged; -and at that time something happened which nobody had reckoned upon. In -the heart of Findasland, upon a mountain, lies a plain called Kasamyr -(Cashmere) that is "extraordinary." There was a child born whose mother -was the daughter of a king, and whose father was a high-priest. In -order to hide the shame they were obliged to renounce their own -blood. Therefore it was taken out of the town to poor people. As the -boy grew up, nothing was concealed from him, so he did all in his -power to acquire wisdom. His intellect was so great that he understood -everything that he saw or heard. The people regarded him with respect, -and the priests were afraid of his questions. When he was of full age -he went to his parents. They had to listen to some hard language; -and to get rid of him they gave him a quantity of jewels, but they -dared not openly acknowledge him. Overcome with sorrow at the false -shame of his parents, he wandered about. While travelling he fell in -with a Frisian sailor who was serving as a slave, and who taught him -our manners and customs. He bought the freedom of the slave, and they -remained friends till death. Wherever he went he taught the people not -to tolerate rich men or priests, and that they must guard themselves -against false shame, which everywhere did harm to love and charity. The -earth, he said, bestowed her treasures on those who scratch her skin; -so all are obliged to dig, and plough, and sow if they wish to reap, -but no one is obliged to do anything for another unless it be out of -goodwill. He taught that men should not seek in her bowels for gold, -or silver, or precious stones, which occasion envy and destroy love. To -embellish your wives and daughters, he said, the river offers her pure -stream. No man is able to make everybody equally rich and happy, but -it is the duty of all men to make each other as equally rich and as -happy as possible. Men should not despise any knowledge; but justice -is the greatest knowledge that time can teach, because she wards off -offences and promotes love. - -His first name was Jessos, but the priests, who hated him, called him -Fo, that is, false; the people called him Krishna, that is, shepherd; -and his Frisian friend called him Buddha (purse), because he had in -his head a treasure of wisdom, and in his heart a treasure of love. - -At last he was obliged to flee from the wrath of the priests; but -wherever he went his teaching had preceded him, whilst his enemies -followed him like his shadow. When Jessos had thus travelled for -twelve years he died; but his friends preserved his teaching, and -spread it wherever they found listeners. - -What do you think the priests did then? That I must tell you, and -you must give your best attention to it. Moreover, you must keep -guard against their acts and their tricks with all the strength -that Wr-alda has given you. While the doctrine of Jessos was thus -spreading over the earth, the false priests went to the land of -his birth to make his death known. They said they were his friends, -and they pretended to show great sorrow by tearing their clothes and -shaving their heads. They went to live in caves in the mountains, but -in them they had hid all their treasures, and they made in them images -of Jessos. They gave these statues to simple people, and at last they -said that Jessos was a god, that he had declared this himself to them, -and that all those who followed his doctrine should enter his kingdom -hereafter, where all was joy and happiness. Because they knew that -he was opposed to the rich, they announced everywhere that poverty, -suffering, and humility were the door by which to enter into his -kingdom, and that those who had suffered the most on earth should enjoy -the greatest happiness there. Although they knew that Jessos had taught -that men should regulate and control their passions, they taught that -men should stifle their passions, and that the perfection of humanity -consisted in being as unfeeling as the cold stones. In order to make -the people believe that they did as they preached, they pretended to -outward poverty; and that they had overcome all sensual feelings, -they took no wives. But if any young girl had made a false step, -it was quickly forgiven; the weak, they said, were to be assisted, -and to save their souls men must give largely to the Church. Acting -in this way, they had wives and children without households, and were -rich without working; but the people grew poorer and more miserable -than they had ever been before. This doctrine, which requires the -priests to possess no further knowledge than to speak deceitfully, -and to pretend to be pious while acting unjustly, spreads from east -to west, and will come to our land also. - -But when the priests fancy that they have entirely extinguished the -light of Frya and Jessos, then shall all classes of men rise up who -have quietly preserved the truth among themselves, and have hidden -it from the priests. They shall be of princely blood of priests, -Slavonic, and Frya's blood. They will make their light visible, -so that all men shall see the truth; they shall cry woe to the acts -of the princes and the priests. The princes who love the truth and -justice shall separate themselves from the priests; blood shall flow, -but from it the people will gather new strength. Finda's folk shall -contribute their industry to the common good, Linda's folk their -strength, and we our wisdom. Then the false priests shall be swept -away from the earth. Wr-alda's spirit shall be invoked everywhere -and always; the laws that Wr-alda in the beginning instilled into -our consciences shall alone be listened to. There shall be neither -princes, nor masters, nor rulers, except those chosen by the general -voice. Then Frya shall rejoice, and the earth will only bestow her -gifts on those who work. All this shall begin 4000 years after the -submersion of Atland, and 1000 years later there shall exist no longer -either priest or oppression. - -Dela, surnamed Hellenia, watch! - -Thus runs Frana's last will: All noble Frisians, Heil! In the name of -Wr-alda, of Frya, and of Freedom, I greet you; and pray you if I die -before I have named a successor, then I recommend to you Teuntja, who -is Burgtmaagd in the citadel of Medeasblik; till now she is the best. - -This Gosa has left behind her: Hail to all men! I have named no -Eeremoeder, because I know none, and because it is better for you to -have no mother than to have one you cannot trust. One bad time is -passed by, but there is still another coming. Irtha has not given -it birth, and Wr-alda has not decreed it. It comes from the East, -out of the bosom of the priests. It will breed so much mischief that -Irtha will not be able to drink the blood of her slain children. It -will spread darkness over the minds of men like storm-clouds over the -sunlight. Everywhere craft and deception shall contend with freedom and -justice. Freedom and justice shall be overcome, and we with them. But -this success will work out its own loss. Our descendants shall teach -their people and their slaves the meaning of three words; they are -universal love, freedom, and justice. At first they shall shine, then -struggle with darkness, until every man's head and heart has become -bright and clear. Then shall oppression be driven from the earth, -like the thunder-clouds by the storm-wind, and all deceit will cease -to have any more power. Gosa. - - - - - - -THE WRITING OF KONERÊD. - - -My forefathers have written this book in succession. I will do this, -the more because there exists no longer in my state any citadel on -which events are inscribed as used to be the case. My name is Konerêd -(Koenraad). My father's name was Frethorik, my mother's name was -Wiljow. After my father's death I was chosen as his successor. When -I was fifty years old I was chosen for chief Grevetman. My father has -written how the Lindaoorden and Liudgaarden were destroyed. Lindahem is -still lost, the Lindaoorden partially, and the north Lindgaarden are -still concealed by the salt sea. The foaming sea washes the ramparts -of the castle. As my father has mentioned, the people, being deprived -of their harbour, went away and built houses inside the ramparts of -the citadel; therefore that bastion is called Lindwerd. The sea-people -say Linwerd, but that is nonsense. In my youth there was a portion of -land lying outside the rampart all mud and marsh; but Frya's people -were neither tired nor exhausted when they had a good object in -view. By digging ditches, and making dams of the earth that came out -of the ditches, we recovered a good space of land outside the rampart, -which had the form of a hoof three poles eastward, three southwards, -and three westwards. At present we are engaged in ramming piles into -the ground to make a harbour to protect our rampart. When the work -is finished we shall attract mariners. In my youth it looked very -queer, but now there stands a row of houses. Leaks and deficiencies -produced by poverty have been remedied by industry. From this men may -learn that Wr-alda, our universal father, protects all his creatures, -if they preserve their courage and help each other. - - - - - - -NOW I WILL WRITE ABOUT FRISO. - - -Friso, who was already powerful by his troops, was chosen chief -Grevetman of the districts round Staveren. He laughed at our mode -of defending our land and our sea-fights; therefore he established a -school where the boys might learn to fight in the Greek manner, but -I believe that he did it to attach the young people to himself. I -sent my brother there ten years ago, because I thought, now that -we have not got any mother, it behoves me to be doubly watchful, -in order that he may not become our master. - -Gosa has given us no successors. I will not give any opinion about -that; but there are still old suspicious people who think that -she and Friso had an understanding about it. When Gosa died, the -people from all parts wished to choose another mother; but Friso, -who was busy establishing a kingdom for himself, did not desire to -have any advice or messenger from Texland. When the messengers of -the Landsaten came to him, he said that Gosa had been far-seeing and -wiser than all the counts together, and yet she had been unable to -see any light or way out of this affair; therefore she had not had -the courage to choose a successor, and to choose a doubtful one she -thought would be very bad; therefore she wrote in her last will, -It is better to have no mother than to have one on whom you cannot -rely. Friso had seen a great deal. He had been brought up in the wars, -and he had just learned and gathered as much of the tricks and cunning -ways of the Gauls and the princes as he required, to lead the other -counts wherever he wished. See here how he went to work about that. - -Friso had taken here another wife, a daughter of Wilfrêthe, who in -his lifetime had been chief count of Staveren. By her he had two sons -and two daughters. By his wish Kornelia, his youngest daughter, was -married to my brother. Kornelia is not good Frisian; her name ought -to be written Korn-helia. Weemoed, his eldest daughter, he married -to Kauch. Kauch, who went to school to him, is the son of Wichhirte, -the king of the Geertmen. But Kauch is likewise not good Frisian, -and ought to be Kaap (Koop). So they have learned more bad language -than good manners. - -Now I must return to my story. - -After the great flood of which my father wrote an account, there came -many Jutlanders and Letlanders out of the Baltic, or bad sea. They -were driven down the Kattegat in their boats by the ice as far as the -coast of Denmark, and there they remained. There was not a creature -to be seen; so they took possession of the land, and named it after -themselves, Jutland. Afterwards many of the Denmarkers returned from -the higher lands, but they settled more to the south; and when the -mariners returned who had not been lost, they all went together to -Zeeland. By this arrangement the Jutlanders retained the land to -which Wr-alda had conducted them. The Zeeland skippers, who were -not satisfied to live upon fish, and who hated the Gauls, took to -robbing the Phoenician ships. In the south-west point of Scandinavia -there lies Lindasburgt, called Lindasnôse, built by one Apol, as is -written in the book. All the people who live on the coasts, and in -the neighbouring districts, had remained true Frisians; but by their -desire for vengeance upon the Gauls, and the followers of Kaltona, -they joined the Zeelanders. But that connection did not hold together, -because the Zeelanders had adopted many evil manners and customs -of the wicked Magyars, in opposition to Frya's people. Afterwards, -everybody went stealing on his own account; but when it suited them -they held all together. At last the Zeelanders began to be in want -of good ships. Their shipbuilders had died, and their forests as -well as their land had been washed out to sea. Now there arrived -unexpectedly three ships, which anchored off the ringdyk of our -citadel. By the disruption of our land they had lost themselves, -and had missed Flymond. The merchant who was with them wished to -buy new ships from us, and for that purpose had brought all kinds of -valuables, which they had stolen from the Celtic country and Phoenician -ships. As we had no ships, I gave them active horses and four armed -couriers to Friso; because at Stavere, along the Alberga, the best -ships of war were built of hard oak which never rots. While these -sea rovers remained with us, some of the Jutmen had gone to Texland, -and thence to Friso. The Zeelanders had stolen many of their strongest -boys to row their ships, and many of their finest daughters to have -children by. The great Jutlanders could not prevent it, as they were -not properly armed. When they had related all their misfortunes, -and a good deal of conversation had taken place, Friso asked them -at last if they had no good harbours in their country. Oh, yes, they -answered; a beautiful one, created by Wr-alda. It is like a bottle, -the neck narrow, but in the belly a thousand large boats may lie; but -we have no citadel and no defences to keep out the pirate ships. Then -you should make them, said Friso. That is very good advice, said -the Jutlanders; but we have no workmen and no building materials; -we are all fishermen and trawlers. The others are drowned or fled to -the higher lands. While they were talking in this way, my messengers -arrived at the court with the Zeeland gentlemen. Here you must -observe how Friso understood deceiving everybody, to the satisfaction -of both parties, and to the accomplishment of his own ends. To the -Zeelanders he promised that they should have yearly fifty ships of a -fixed size for a fixed price, fitted with iron chains and crossbows, -and full rigging as is necessary and useful for men-of-war, but that -they should leave in peace the Jutlanders and all the people of Frya's -race. But he wished to do more; he wanted to engage all our sea rovers -to go with him upon his fighting expedition. When the Zeelanders -had gone, he loaded forty old ships with weapons for wall defences, -wood, bricks, carpenters, masons, and smiths, in order to build -citadels. Witto, or Witte, his son, he sent to superintend. I have -never been well informed of what happened; but this much is clear to -me, that on each side of the harbour a strong citadel has been built, -and garrisoned by people brought by Friso out of Saksenmarken. Witto -courted Siuchthirte and married her. Wilhem, her father, was chief -Alderman of the Jutmen--that is, chief Grevetman or Count. Wilhem -died shortly afterwards, and Witto was chosen in his place. - - - - - - -WHAT FRISO DID FURTHER. - - -Of his first wife he still had two brothers-in-law, who were very -daring. Hetto--that is, heat--the youngest, he sent as messenger to -Kattaburgt, which lies far in the Saxsenmarken. Friso gave him to take -seven horses, besides his own, laden with precious things stolen by -the sea-rovers. With each horse there were two young sea-rovers and -two young horsemen, clad in rich garments, and with money in their -purses. In the same way as he sent Hetto to Kattaburgt, he sent -Bruno--that is, brown--the other brother-in-law, to Mannagarda oord, -Mannagarda oord was written Mannagarda ford in the earlier part of -this book, but that is wrong. All the riches that they took with them -were given away, according to circumstances, to princes, princesses, -and chosen young girls. When his young men went to the tavern to -dance with the young people there, they ordered baskets of spice, -gingerbread, and tuns of the best beer. After these messengers he let -his young people constantly go over to the Saxsenmarken, always with -money in their purses and presents to give away, and they spent money -carelessly in the taverns. When the Saxsen youths looked with envy -at this they smiled, and said, If you dare go and fight the common -enemy you would be able to give much richer presents to your brides, -and live much more princely. Both the brothers-in-law of Friso had -married daughters of the chief princes, and afterwards the Saxsen -youths and girls came in whole troops to the Flymeer. - -The burgtmaidens and old maidens who still remembered their greatness -did not hold with Friso's object, and therefore they said no good -of him; but Friso, more cunning than they, let them chatter, but -the younger maidens he led to his side with golden fingers. They -said everywhere, For a long time we have had no mother, but that -comes from our being fit to take care of ourselves. At present it -suits us best to have a king to win back our lands that we have lost -through the imprudence of our mothers. Further they said, Every child -of Frya has permission to let his voice be heard before the choice -of a prince is decided; but if it comes to that, that you choose -a king, then also we will have our say. From all that we can see, -Wr-alda has appointed Friso for it, for he has brought him here in a -wonderful way. Friso knows the tricks of the Gauls, whose language he -speaks; he can therefore watch against their craftiness. Then there -is something else to keep the eye upon. What count could be chosen -as king without the others being jealous of him? All such nonsense -the young maidens talked; but the old maidens, though few in number, -tapped their advice out of another cask. They said always and to every -one: Friso does like the spiders. At night he spreads his webs in all -directions, and in the day he catches in them all his unsuspecting -friends. Friso says he cannot suffer any priests or foreign princes, -but we say that he cannot suffer anybody but himself; therefore he -will not allow the citadel of Stavia to be rebuilt; therefore he -will not have the mother again. To-day Friso is your counsellor, -to-morrow he will be your king, in order to have full power over -you. Among the people there now existed two parties. The old and the -poor wished to have the mother again, but the young and the warlike -wished for a father and a king. The first called themselves mother's -sons, the others father's sons, but the mother's sons did not count -for much; because there were many ships to build, there was a good -time for all kinds of workmen. Moreover, the sea-rovers brought all -sorts of treasures, with which the maidens were pleased, the girls -were pleased, and their relations and friends. - -When Friso had been nearly forty years at Staveren he died. Owing to -him many of the states had been joined together again, but that we -were the better for it I am not prepared to certify. Of all the counts -that preceded him there was none so renowned as Friso; for, as I said -before, the young maidens spoke in his praise, while the old maidens -did all in their power to make him hateful to everybody. Although the -old women could not prevent his meddling, they made so much fuss that -he died without becoming king. - - - - - - -NOW I WILL WRITE ABOUT HIS SON ADEL. - - -Friso, who had learned our history from the book of the Adelingen, -had done everything in his power to win their friendship. His eldest -son, whom he had by his wife Swethirte, he named Adel; and although -he strove with all his might to prevent the building or restoring -any citadels, he sent Adel to the citadel of Texland in order to make -himself better acquainted with our laws, language, and customs. When -Adel was twenty years old Friso brought him into his own school, -and when he had fully educated him he sent him to travel through -all the states. Adel was an amiable young man, and in his travels -he made many friends, so the people called him Atharik--that is, -rich in friends--which was very useful to him afterwards, for when -his father died he took his place without a question of any other -count being chosen. - -While Adel was studying at Texland there was a lovely maiden at the -citadel. She came from Saxenmarken, from the state of Suobaland, -therefore she was called at Texland Suobene, although her name was -Ifkja. Adel fell in love with her, and she with him, but his father -wished him to wait a little. Adel did as he wished; but as soon as -he was dead, sent messengers to Berthold, her father, to ask her in -marriage. Berthold was a prince of high-principled feelings. He had -sent his daughter to Texland in the hope that she might be chosen -Burgtmaagd in her country, but when he knew of their mutual affection -he bestowed his blessing upon them. Ifkja was a clever Frisian. As -far as I have been able to learn, she always toiled and worked to -bring the Frya's people back under the same laws and customs. To -bring the people to her side, she travelled with her husband through -all Saxenmarken, and also to Geertmannia--as the Geertmen had named -the country which they had obtained by means of Gosa. Thence they -went to Denmark, and from Denmark by sea to Texland. From Texland -they went to Westflyland, and so along the coast to Walhallagara; -thence they followed the Zuiderryn (the Waal), till, with great -apprehension, they arrived beyond the Rhine at the Marsaten of whom -our Apollonia has written. When they had stayed there a little time, -they returned to the lowlands. When they had been some time descending -towards the lowlands, and had reached about the old citadel of Aken, -four of their servants were suddenly murdered and stripped. They had -loitered a little behind. My brother, who was always on the alert, -had forbidden them to do so, but they did not listen to him. The -murderers that had committed this crime were Twisklanders, who had at -that time audaciously crossed the Rhine to murder and to steal. The -Twisklanders are banished and fugitive children of Frya, but their -wives they have stolen from the Tartars. The Tartars are a brown -tribe of Finda's people, who are thus named because they make war on -everybody. They are all horsemen and robbers. This is what makes the -Twisklanders so bloodthirsty. The Twisklanders who had done the wicked -deed called themselves Frijen or Franken. There were among them, -my brother said, red, brown, and white men. The red and brown made -their hair white with lime-water--but as their faces remained brown, -they were only the more ugly. In the same way as Apollonia, they -visited Lydasburgt and the Alderga. Afterwards they made a tour of all -the neighbourhood of Stavera. They behaved with so much amiability, -that everywhere the people wished to keep them. Three months later, -Adel sent messengers to all the friends that he had made, requesting -them to send to him their "wise men" in the month of May. - -his wife, he said, who had been maagd of Texland, had received a copy -of it. In Texland many writings are still found which are not copied -in the book of the Adelingen. One of these writings had been placed by -Gosa with her last will, which was to be opened by the oldest maiden, -Albetha, as soon as Friso was dead. - - - - - - -HERE IS THE WRITING WITH GOSA'S ADVICE. - - -When Wr-alda gave children to the mothers of mankind, he gave one -language to every tongue and to all lips. This gift Wr-alda had -bestowed upon men in order that by its means they might make known -to each other what must be avoided and what must be followed to find -salvation, and to hold salvation to all eternity. Wr-alda is wise -and good, and all-foreseeing. As he knew that happiness and holiness -would flee from the earth when wickedness could overcome virtue, -he has attached to the language an equitable property. This property -consists in this, that men can neither lie nor use deceitful words -without stammering or blushing, by which means the innately bad are -easily known. - -As thus our language opens the way to happiness and blessedness, -and thus helps to guard against evil inclinations, it is rightly -named the language of the gods, and all those by whom it is held in -honour derive honour from it. But what has happened? As soon as among -our half brothers and sisters deceivers arose, who gave themselves -out as servants of the good, it soon became otherwise. The deceitful -priests and the malignant princes, who always clung together, wished -to live according to their own inclinations, without regard to the -laws of right. In their wickedness they went so far as to invent other -languages, so that they might speak secretly in anybody's presence -of their wicked and unworthy affairs without betraying themselves by -stammering, and without showing a blush upon their countenances. But -what has that produced? Just as the seed of good herbs which has -been sown by good men in the open day springs up from the ground, -so time brings to light the evil seed which has been sown by wicked -men in secret and in darkness. - -The wanton girls and effeminate youths who consorted with the immoral -priests and princes, taught the new language to their companions, -and thus spread it among the people till God's language was clean -forgotten. Would you know what came of all this? how that stammering -and blushing no longer betrayed their evil doings;--virtue passed -away, wisdom and liberty followed; unity was lost, and quarrelling -took its place; love flew away, and unchastity and envy met round -their tables; and where previously justice reigned, now it is the -sword. All are slaves--the subjects of their masters, envy, bad -passions and covetousness. If they had only invented one language -things might possibly have still gone on well; but they invented as -many languages as there are states, so that one people can no more -understand another people than a cow a dog, or a wolf a sheep. The -mariners can bear witness to this. From all this it results that -all the slave people look upon each other as strangers; and that as -a punishment of their inconsiderateness and presumption, they must -quarrel and fight till they are all destroyed. - - - - - - -HERE IS MY COUNSEL. - - -If you wish that you alone should inherit the earth, you must never -allow any language but God's language to pass your lips, and take care -that your own language remains free from outlandish sounds. If you -wish that some of Lyda's children and some of Finda's children remain, -you must do the same. The language of the East Schoonlanders has been -perverted by the vile Magyars, and the language of the followers -of Kaltana has been spoiled by the dirty Gauls. Now, we have been -weak enough to admit among us the returned followers of Hellenia, -but I anxiously fear that they will reward our weakness by debasing -our pure language. - -Many things have happened to us, but among all the citadels that have -been disturbed and destroyed in the bad time, Irtha has preserved -Fryasburgt uninjured; and I may remark that Frya's or God's language -has always remained here untainted. - -Here in Texland, therefore, schools should be established; and from all -the states that have kept to the old customs the young people should -be sent here, and afterwards those whose education is complete can -help those who remain at home. If foreigners come to buy ironwares -from you, and want to talk and bargain, they must come back to God's -language. If they learn God's language, then the words, "to be free" -and "to have justice," will come to them, and glimmer and glitter in -their brains to a perfect light, and that flame will destroy all bad -princes and hypocritical dirty priests. - -The native and foreign messengers were pleased with that writing, but -no schools came from it. Then Adel established schools himself. Every -year Adel and Ifkja went to inspect the schools. If they found a -friendly feeling existing between the natives and foreigners, they -were extremely pleased. If there were any who had sworn friendship -together, they assembled the people, and with great ceremony let them -inscribe their names in a book which was called the Book of Friendship, -and afterwards a festival was held. All these customs were kept up -in order to bring together the separate branches of Frya's race; -but the maidens who were opposed to Adel and Ifkja said that they -did it for no other reason than to make a name for themselves, and -to bring all the other states under their subjection. - -Among my father's papers I found a letter from Liudgert the -Geertman. Omitting some passages which only concern my father, -I proceed to relate the rest. - -Punjab, that is five rivers, and by which we travel, is a river of -extraordinary beauty, and is called Five Rivers, because four other -streams flow into the sea by its mouth. Far away to the eastward is -another large river, the Holy or Sacred Ganges. Between these two -rivers is the land of the Hindoos. Both rivers run from the high -mountains to the plains. The mountains in which their sources lie -are so high that they reach the heavens (laia), and therefore these -mountains are called Himmellaia. Among the Hindoos and others out of -these countries there are people who meet together secretly. They -believe that they are pure children of Finda, and that Finda was -born in the Himmellaia mountains, whence she went with her children -to the lowlands. Some of them believe that she, with her children, -floated down upon the foam of the Ganges, and that that is the reason -why the river is called the Sacred Ganges. But the priests, who came -from another country, traced out these people and had them burnt, so -that they do not dare to declare openly their creed. In this country -all the priests are fat and rich. In their churches there are all -kinds of monstrous images, many of them of gold. To the west of the -Punjab are the Yren (Iraniers), or morose (Drangianen), the Gedrosten -(Gedrosiers), or runaways, and the Urgetten, or forgotten. These -names are given by the priests out of spite, because they fled -from their customs and religion. On their arrival our forefathers -likewise established themselves to the east of the Punjab, but on -account of the priests they likewise went to the west. In that way we -learned to know the Yren and other people. The Yren are not savages, -but good people, who neither pray to nor tolerate images; neither -will they suffer priests or churches; but as we adhere to the light -of Fasta, so they everywhere maintain fire in their houses. Coming -still further westward, we arrive at the Gedrosten. Regarding the -Gedrosten: They have been mixed with other people, and speak a variety -of languages. These people are really savage murderers, who always -wander about the country on horseback hunting and robbing, and hire -themselves as soldiers to the surrounding princes, at whose command -they destroy whatever they can reach. - -The country between the Punjab and the Ganges is as flat as Friesland -near the sea, and consists of forests and fields, fertile in every -part, but this does not prevent the people from dying by thousands -of hunger. The famines, however, must not be attributed to Wr-alda -or Irtha, but to the princes and priests. The Hindoos are timid and -submissive before their princes, like hinds before wolves. Therefore -the Yren and others have called them Hindoos, which means hinds. But -their timidity is frightfully abused. If strangers come to purchase -corn, everything is turned into money, and this is not prevented by -the priests, because they, being more crafty and rapacious than all -the princes put together, know very well that all the money will come -into their pockets. Besides what the people suffer from their princes, -they suffer a great deal from poisonous and wild beasts. There are -great elephants that sometimes go about in whole flocks and trample -down corn-fields and whole villages. There are great black and white -cats which are called tigers. They are as large as calves, and they -devour both men and beasts. Besides other creeping animals there are -snakes from the size of a worm to the size of a tree. The largest -can swallow a cow, but the smallest are the most deadly. They conceal -themselves among the fruits and flowers, and surprise the people who -come to gather them. Any one who is bitten by them is sure to die, -as Irtha has given no antidote to their poison, because the people -have so given themselves up to idolatry. There are, besides, all -sorts of lizards, tortoises, and crocodiles. All these reptiles, -like the snakes, vary from the size of a worm to the trunk of a -tree. According to their size and fierceness, they have names which I -cannot recollect, but the largest are called alligators, because they -eat as greedily the putrid cattle that float down the stream as they -do living animals that they seize. On the west of the Punjab where we -come from, and where I was born, the same fruits and crops grow as on -the east side. Formerly there existed also the same crawling animals, -but our forefathers burnt all the underwood, and so diligently hunted -all the wild animals, that there are scarcely any left. To the extreme -west of the Punjab there is found rich clay land as well as barren -heaths, which seem endless, occasionally varied lovely spots on which -the eye rests enchanted. Among the fruits there are many that I have -not found here. Among the various kinds of corn some is as yellow -as gold. There are also golden apples, of which some are as sweet as -honey and others as sour as vinegar. In our country there are nuts as -large as a child's head. They contain cheese and milk. When they are -old oil is made from them. Of the husks ropes are made, and of the -shells cups and other household utensils are made. I have found in -the woods here bramble and holly berries. In my country we have trees -bearing berries, as large as your lime-trees, the berries of which -are much sweeter and three times as large as your gooseberries. When -the days are at the longest, and the sun is in the zenith, a man's -body has no shadow. If you sail very far to the south and look to -the east at midday, the sun shines on your left side as it does in -other countries on the right side. With this I will finish. It will -be easy for you, by means of what I have written, to distinguish -between false accounts and true descriptions.--Your Luidgert. - - - - - - -THE WRITING OF BEEDEN. - - -My name is Beeden, son of Hachgana. My uncle, not having married, -left no children. I was elected in his place. Adel, the third king -of that name, approved of the choice, provided I should acknowledge -him as master. In addition to the entire inheritance of my uncle, -he gave me some land which joined my inheritance, on condition that -I would settle people there who should never his people - - - -therefore I will allow it a place here. - - - - - - -LETTER OF RIKA THE OUDMAAGD, READ AT STAVEREN AT THE JUUL FEAST. - - -My greeting to all of you whose forefathers came here with -Friso. According to what you say, you are not guilty of idolatry. I -will not speak about that now, but will at once mention a failing which -is very little better. You know, or you do not know, how many titles -Wr-alda has; but you all know that he is named universal provider, -because that everything comes and proceeds from him for the sustenance -of his creatures. It is true that Irtha is named sometimes the feeder -of all, because she brings forth all the fruits and grains on which men -and beasts are fed; but she would not bear any fruit or grain unless -Wr-alda gave her the power. Women who nourish their children at their -breasts are called nurses, but if Wr-alda did not give them milk the -children would find no advantage; so that, in short, Wr-alda really is -the nourisher. That Irtha should be called the universal nourisher, -and that a mother should be called a feeder, one can understand, -figuratively speaking; but that a father should be called a feeder, -because he is a father, goes against all reason. Now I know whence -all this folly comes. Listen to me. It comes from our enemies; and -if this is followed up you will become slaves, to the sorrow of Frya -and to the punishment of your pride, I will tell you what happened to -the slave people; from that you may take warning. The foreign kings, -who follow their own will, place Wr-alda below the crown. From envy -that Wr-alda is called the universal father, they wish also to be -called fathers of the people. Now, everybody knows that kings do -not regulate the productiveness of the earth; and that they have -their sustenance by means of the people, but still they will persist -in their arrogance. In order to attain their object they were not -satisfied from the beginning with free gifts, but imposed a tax upon -the people. With the tax thus raised they hired foreign soldiers, whom -they retained about their courts. Afterwards they took as many wives as -they pleased, and the smaller princes and gentry did the same. When, -in consequence, quarrels and disputes arose in the households, and -complaints were made about it, they said every man is the father -(feeder) of his household, therefore he shall be master and judge -over it. Thus arose arbitrariness, and as the men ruled over their -households the kings would do over their people. When the kings had -accomplished that, they should be called fathers of the people, -they had statues of themselves made, and erected in the churches -beside the statues of the idols, and those who would not bow down -to them were either killed or put in chains. Your forefathers and -the Twisklanders had intercourse with the kings, and learned these -follies from them. But it is not only that some of your men have been -guilty of stealing titles, I have also much to complain of against -your wives. If there are men among you who wish to put themselves -on a level with Wr-alda, there are also women who wish to consider -themselves equals of Frya. Because they have borne children, they call -themselves mothers; but they forget that Frya bore children without -having intercourse with a man. Yes, they not only have desired to rob -Frya and the Eeremoeders of their honourable title (with whom they -cannot put themselves upon an equality), but they do the same with -the honourable titles of their fellow-creatures. There are women who -allow themselves to be called ladies, although they know that that -only belongs to the wives of princes. They also let their daughters be -called maagden, although they know that no young girls are so called -unless they belong to a citadel. You all fancy that you are the better -for this name-stealing, but you forget that jealousy clings to it, -and that every wrong sows the seed of its own rod. If you do not alter -your course, in time it will grow so strong that you cannot see what -will be the end. Your descendants will be flogged by it, and will not -know whence the stripes come. But although you do not build citadels -for the maidens and leave them to their fate, there will still remain -some who will come out of woods and caves, and will prove to your -descendants that you have by your disorderliness been the cause of -it. Then you will be damned. Your ghosts will rise frightened out of -their graves. They will call upon Wr-alda, Frya, and her maidens, but -they shall receive no succour before the Juul shall enter upon a new -circuit, and that will only be three thousand years after this century. - - - THE END OF RIKA'S LETTER. - - - - - - -therefore I will first write about black Adel. Black Adel was the -fourth king after Friso. In his youth he studied first at Texland, and -then at Staveren, and afterwards travelled through all the states. When -he was twenty-four years old his father had him elected Asega-Asker. As -soon as he became Asker he always took the part of the poor. The rich, -he said, do enough of wrong by means of their wealth, therefore we -ought to take care that the poor look up to us. By arguments of this -kind he became the friend of the poor and the terror of the rich. It -was carried so far that his father looked up to him. When his father -died he succeeded, and then he wished to retain his office as well, -as the kings of the East used to do. The rich would not suffer this, -so all the people rose up, and the rich were glad to get out of the -assembly with whole skins. From that time there was no more talk of -equality. He oppressed the rich and flattered the poor, by whose -assistance he succeeded in all his wishes. King Askar, as he was -always called, was seven feet high, and his strength was as remarkable -as his height. He had a clear intellect, so that he understood all -that was talked about, but in his actions he did not display much -wisdom. He had a handsome countenance and a smooth tongue, but his -soul was blacker than his hair. When he had been king for a year, -he obliged all the young men in the state to come once a year to the -camp to have a sham fight. At first he had some trouble with it, but -at last it became such a habit that old and young came from all sides -to ask if they might take part in it. When he had brought it to this -point, he established military schools. The rich complained that their -children no longer learned to read and write. Askar paid no attention -to it; but shortly afterwards, when a sham fight was held, he mounted -a throne and spoke aloud: The rich have come to complain to me that -their boys do not learn to read and write. I answered nothing; but I -will now declare my opinion, and let the general assembly decide. While -they all regarded him with curiosity, he said further: According to my -idea, we ought to leave reading and writing at present to the maagden -and wise people. I do not wish to speak ill of our forefathers; I -will only say that in the times so vaunted by some, the Burgtmaagden -introduced disputes into our country, which the mothers were unable, -either first or last, to put an end to. Worse still, while they talked -and chattered about useless customs the Gauls came and seized all our -beautiful southern country. Even at this very time our degenerate -brothers and their soldiers have already come over the Scheldt. It -therefore remains for us to choose whether we will carry a yoke or -a sword. If we wish to be and to remain free, it behoves our young -men to leave reading and writing alone for a time; and instead of -playing games of swinging and wrestling, they must learn to play with -sword and spear. When we are completely prepared, and the boys are -big enough to carry helmet and shield and to use their weapons, then, -with your help, I will attack the enemy. The Gauls may then record the -defeat of their helpers and soldiers upon our fields with the blood -that flows from their wounds. When we have once expelled the enemy, -then we must follow it up till there are no more Gauls, Slaves, -or Tartars to be driven out of Frya's inheritance. That is right, -the majority shouted, and the rich did not dare to open their mouths. - -He must certainly have thought over this address and had it written -out, for on the evening of the same day there were copies in at least -twenty different hands, and they all sounded the same. Afterwards -he ordered the ship people to make double prows, upon which steel -crossbows could be fixed. Those who were backward in doing this -were fined, and if they swore that they had no means, the rich men -of the village were obliged to pay. Now we shall see what resulted -from all this bustle. In the north part of Britain there exists a -Scotch people--the most of them spring from Frya's blood--some of -them are descended from the followers of Keltana, and, for the rest, -from Britons and fugitives who gradually, in the course of time, took -refuge there from the tin mines. Those who come from the tin mines -have wives, either altogether foreign or of foreign descent They are -all under the dominion of the Gauls. Their arms are wooden bows and -arrows pointed with stag's-horn or flint. Their houses are of turf and -straw, and some of them live in caves in the mountains. Sheep that -they have stolen form their only wealth. Some of the descendants of -Keltana's followers still have iron weapons, which they have inherited -from their forefathers. In order to make myself well understood, -I must let alone for a while my account of the Scotch people, -and write something about the near Krekalanders (Italians). The -Krekalanders formerly belonged to us only, but from time immemorial -descendants of Lyda and Finda have established themselves there. Of -these last there came in the end a whole troop from Troy. Troy is -the name of a town that the far Krekalanders (Greeks) had taken and -destroyed. When the Trojans had nestled themselves among the near -Krekalanders, with time and industry they built a strong town with -walls and citadels named Rome, that is, Spacious. When this was done, -the people by craft and force made themselves masters of the whole -land. The people who live on the south side of the Mediterranean Sea, -come for the most part from Phoenicia. The Phoenicians (Puniers or -Carthaginians) are a bastard race of the blood of Frya, Finda, and -Lyda. The Lyda people were there as slaves, but by the unchastity of -the women these black people have degenerated the other people and -dyed them brown. These people and the Romans are constantly struggling -for the supremacy over the Mediterranean Sea. The Romans, moreover, -live at enmity with the Phoenicians; and their priests, who wish to -assume the sole government of the world, cannot bear the sight of the -Gauls. First they took from the Phoenicians Marseilles--then all the -countries lying to the south, the west, and the north, as well as -the southern part of Britain--and they have always driven away the -Phoenician priests, that is the Gauls, of whom thousands have sought -refuge in North Britain. A short time ago the chief of the Gauls was -established in the citadel, which is called Kerenac (Karnac), that -is the corner, whence he issued his commands to the Gauls. All their -gold was likewise collected there. Keeren Herne (chosen corner), or -Kerenac, is a stone citadel which did belong to Kalta. Therefore the -maidens of the descendants of Kaltana's followers wished to have the -citadel again. Thus through the enmity of the maidens and the Gaul's, -hatred and quarrelling spread ever the mountain country with fire and -sword. Our sea people often came there to get wool, which they paid -for with prepared hides and linen. Askar had often gone with them, -and had secretly made friendship with the maidens and some princes, -and bound himself to drive the Gauls out of Kerenac. When he came -back there again he gave to the princes and the fighting men iron -helmets and steel bows. War had come with him, and soon blood was -streaming down the slopes of the mountains. When Askar thought a -favourable opportunity occurred, he vent with forty ships and took -Kerenac and the chief of the Gauls, with all his gold. The people -with whom he fought against the soldiers of the Gauls, he had enticed -out of the Saxenmarken by promises of much booty and plunder. Thus -nothing was left to the Gauls. After that he took two islands for -stations for his ships, from which he used later to sally forth and -plunder all the Phoenician ships and towns that he could reach. When -he returned he brought nearly six hundred of the finest youths of the -Scotch mountaineers with him. He said that they had been given him as -hostages, that he might be sure that the parents would remain faithful -to him; but this was untrue. He kept them as a bodyguard at his court, -where they had daily lessons in riding and in the use of all kinds of -arms. The Denmarkers, who proudly considered themselves sea-warriors -above all the other sea-people, no sooner heard of the glorious -deeds of Askar, than they became jealous of him to such a degree, -that they would bring war over the sea and over his lands. See here, -then, how he was able to avoid a war. Among the ruins of the destroyed -citadel of Stavia there was still established a clever Burgtmaagd, -with a few maidens. Her name was Reintja, and she was famed for -her wisdom. This maid offered her assistance to Askar, on condition -that he should afterwards rebuild the citadel of Stavia. When he had -bound himself to do this, Reintja went with three maidens to Hals -(Holstein). She travelled by night, and by day she made speeches in -all the markets and in all the assemblies. Wr-alda, she said, had told -her by his thunder that all the Frya's people must become friends, -and united as brothers and sisters, otherwise Finda's people would -come and sweep them off the face of the earth. After the thunder -Frya's seven watch-maidens appeared to her in a dream seven nights -in succession. They had said, Disaster hovers over Frya's land with -yoke and chains; therefore all the people who have sprung from Frya's -blood must do away with their surnames, and only call themselves Frya's -children, or Frya's people. They must all rise up and drive Finda's -people out of Frya's inheritance. If you will not do that, you will -bring the slave-chains round your necks, and the foreign chiefs will -ill-treat your children and flog them till the blood streams into your -graves. Then shall the spirits of your forefathers appear to you, and -reproach your cowardice and thoughtlessness. The stupid people who, -by the acts of the Magyars, were already so much accustomed to folly, -believed all that she said, and the mothers clasped their children -to their bosoms. When Reintja had brought the king of Holstein and -the others to an agreement, she sent messengers to Askar, and went -herself along the Baltic Sea. From there she went to the Lithauers -(Face-hewers), so called because they always strike at their enemy's -face. The Lithauers are fugitives and banished people of our own race, -who wander about in the Twisklanden. Their wives have been mostly -stolen from the Tartars. The Tartars are a branch of Finda's race, -and are thus named by the Twisklanders because they never will be -at peace, but provoke people to fight. She proceeded on beyond the -Saxsenmarken, crossing through the other Twisklanders in order always -to repeat the same thing. After two years had passed, she came along -the Rhine home. Among the Twisklanders she gave herself out for a -mother, and said that they might return as free and true people; -but then they must go over the Rhine and drive the Gauls out of -Frya's south lands. If they did that, then her King Askar would go -over the Scheldt and win back the land. Among the Twisklanders many -bad customs of the Tartars and Magyars have crept in, but likewise -many of our laws have remained. Therefore they still have Maagden, -who teach the children and advise the old. In the beginning they were -opposed to Reintja, but at last she was followed, obeyed, and praised -by them where it was useful or necessary. - -As soon as Askar heard from Reintja's messengers how the Jutlanders -were disposed, he immediately, on his side, sent messengers to the -King of Hals. The ship in which the messengers went was laden with -women's ornaments, and took also a golden shield on which Askar's -portrait was artistically represented. These messengers were to ask -the King's daughter, Frethogunsta, in marriage for Askar. Frethogunsta -came a year after that to Staveren. Among her followers was a Magy, -for the Jutlanders had been long ago corrupted. Soon after Askar had -married Frethogunsta, a church was built at Staveren. In the church -were placed monstrous images, bedecked with gold-woven dresses. It is -also said that Askar, by night, and at unseasonable times, kneeled -to them with Frethogunsta; but one thing is certain, the citadel of -Stavia was never rebuilt. Reintja was already come back, and went -angrily to Prontlik the mother, at Texland, to complain. Prontlik sent -out messengers in all directions, who proclaimed that Askar is gone -over to Idolatry. Askar took no notice of this, but unexpectedly a -fleet arrived from Hals. In the night the maidens were driven out -of the citadel, and in the morning there was nothing to be seen -of the citadel but a glowing heap of rubbish. Prontlik and Reintja -came to me for shelter. When I reflected upon it, I thought that it -might prove bad for my state. Therefore, we hit upon a plan which -might serve us all. This is the way we went to work. In the middle -of the Krijlwood, to the east of Liudwerd, lies our place of refuge, -which can only be reached by a concealed path. A long time ago I had -established a garrison of young men who all hated Askar, and kept away -all other people. Now it was come to such a pitch among us, that many -women, and even men, talked about ghosts, white women, and gnomes, -just like the Denmarkers. Askar had made use of all these follies -for his own advantage, and we wished to do the same. One dark night -I brought the Maagden to the citadel, and afterwards they went with -their serving-maids dressed in white along the path, so that nobody -dare go there any more. When Askar thought he had his hands free, he -let the Magyars travel through his states under all kinds of names, -and, except in my state, they were not turned away anywhere. After -that Askar had become so connected with the Jutlanders and the -Denmarkers, they all went roving together; but it produced no real -good to them. They brought all sorts of foreign treasures home, and -just for that reason the young men would learn no trades, nor work -in the fields; so at last he was obliged to take slaves; but that was -altogether contrary to Wr-alda's wish and to Frya's counsel. Therefore -the punishment was sure to follow it. This is the way in which the -punishment came. They had all together taken a whole fleet that came -out of the Mediterranean Sea. This fleet was laden with purple cloths -and other valuables that came from Phoenicia. The weak people of -the fleet were put ashore south of the Seine, but the strong people -were kept to serve as slaves. The handsomest were retained ashore, -and the ugly and black were kept on board ship as rowers. In the -Fly the plunder was divided, but, without their knowing it, they -divided the punishment too. Of those who were placed in the foreign -ships six died of colic. It was thought that the food and drink were -poisoned, so it was all thrown overboard, but the colic remained all -the same. Wherever the slaves or the goods came, there it came too. The -Saxsenmen took it over to their marches. The Jutlanders brought it to -Schoonland and along the coasts of the Baltic Sea, and with Askar's -mariners it was taken to Britain. We and the people of Grênegâ did not -allow either the people or the goods to come over our boundaries, and -therefore we remained free from it. How many people were carried off -by this disease I cannot tell; but Prontlik, who heard it afterwards -from the maidens, told me that Askar had helped out of his states a -thousand times more free-men than he had brought dirty slaves in. When -the pest had ceased, the Twisklanders who had become free came to -the Rhine, but Askar would not put himself on an equality with the -princes of that vile degenerate race. He would not suffer them to -call themselves Frya's children, as Reintja had offered them, but he -forgot then that he himself had black hair. Among the Twisklanders -there were two tribes who did not call themselves Twisklanders. One -came from the far south-east, and called themselves Allemannen. They -had given themselves this name when they had no women among them, -and were wandering as exiles in the forests. Later on they stole -women from the slave people like the Lithauers, but they kept their -name. The other tribe, that wandered about in the neighbourhood, -called themselves Franks, not because they were free, but the name -of their first king was Frank, who, by the help of the degenerate -maidens, had had himself made hereditary king over his people. The -people nearest to him called themselves Thioth--his sons--that is, -sons of the people. They had remained free, because they never would -acknowledge any king, or prince, or master except those chosen by -general consent in a general assembly. Askar had already learned from -Reintja that the Twisklander princes were almost always at war with -each other. He proposed to them that they should choose a duke from -his people, because, as he said, he was afraid that they would quarrel -among themselves for the supremacy. He said also that his princes -could speak with the Gauls. This, he said, was also the opinion of the -mother. Then the princes of the Twisklanders came together, and after -twenty-one days they chose Alrik as duke. Alrik was Askar's nephew. He -gave him two hundred Scotch and one hundred of the greatest Saksmannen -to go with him as a bodyguard, The princes were to send twenty-one -of their sons as hostages for their fidelity. Thus far all had gone -according to his wishes; but when they were to go over the Rhine, the -king of the Franks would not be under Alrik's command. Thereupon all -was confusion. Askar, who thought that all was going on well, landed -with his ships on the other side of the Scheldt; but there they were -already aware of his coming, and were on their guard. He had to flee -as quickly as he had come, and was himself taken prisoner. The Gauls -did not know whom they had taken, so he was afterwards exchanged for -a noble Gaul whom Askar's people had taken with them. While all this -was going on, the Magyars went about audaciously over the lands of -our neighbours. Near Egmuda, where formerly the citadel Forana had -stood, they built a church larger and richer than that which Askar -had built at Staveren. They said afterwards that Askar had lost the -battle against the Gauls, because the people did not believe that -Wodin could help them, and therefore they would not pray to him. They -went about stealing young children, whom they kept and brought up in -the mysteries of their abominable doctrines.
