English poem
Raven
"O, yes, he is bounteous! And bravely they fare Who in Harald's dominions Hew food for the bear; With coin he presents them, And keen polish'd glaives, With mail from Hungaria And Osterland slaves."
"O happy lives have they Who help him in war, Can run to the mast-head Or manage the oar; Make the row-locks to creak, And the row-bench to crack, And in their lord's service Are never found slack."
