( 233 )
“We fought with swords, in fifty and one battles under my floating banniers. From my early youth I have learnt to dye the steel of my lance with blood; and thought I never could meet with a king more valiant than myself. But it is time to cease: Odin hath sent his Goddesses to conduct me to his palace. I am going to be placed on the highest seat, there to quaff goblets of Beer with the Gods. The hours of my life are rolled away. I will die laughing.”
