it could no more avail�察     �Than the thin plank against the shock      When the ship's side beats on the rock。      By his bright sword with golden haft      Thro' helm�察�and head�察�and hair�察�was cleft      The Danish champion�察�and amain�察     �With terror smitten�察�fled his men。;

After this fall of the two brothers�察�King Hakon pressed on so hard that all men gave way before his assault。  Now fear came over the army of Eirik's sons�察�and the men began to fly�察�and King Hakon�察�who was at the head of his men�察�pressed on the flying�察�and hewed down oft and hard。  Then flew an arrow�察�one of the kind called ;flein;�察�into Hakon's arm�察�into the muscles below the shoulder�察�and it is said by many people that Gunhild's shoe´boy�察�whose name was Kisping�察�ran out and forwards amidst the confusion of arms�察�called out ;Make room for the king´killer�察─�and shot King Hakon with the flein。  Others again say that nobody could tell who shot the king�察�which is indeed the most likely�察�for spears�察�arrows�察�and all kinds of missiles flew as thick as a snow´drift。  Many of the people of Eirik's sons were killed�察�both on the field of battle and on the way to the ships�察�and also on the strand�察�and many threw themselves into the water。  Many also�察�among whom were Eirik's sons�察�got on board their ships�察�and rowed away as fast as they could�察�and Hakon's men after them。  So says Thord Sjarekson�此�

     ;The wolf。 the murderer�察�and the thief�察     �Fled from before the people's chief�此     �Few breakers of the peace grew old      Under the Northmen's king so bold。      When gallant Hakon lost his life      Black was the day�察�and dire the strife。      It was bad work for Gunhild's sons�察     �Leading their pack of Hungry Danes      From out the south�察�to have to fly�察     �And many a bonde leave to die�察     �Leaning his heavy wounded head      On the oar´bench for feather´bed。      Thoralf was nearest to the side      Of gallant Hakon in the tide      Of battle�察�his the sword that best      Carved out the raven's bloody feast�此     �Amidst the heaps of foemen slain      He was named bravest on the plain。;



32。 HAKON'S DEATH。

When King Hakon came out to his ship he had his wound bound up�察�but the blood ran from it so much and so constantly�察�that it could not be stopped�察�and when the day was drawing to an end his strength began to leave him。  Then he told his men that he wanted to go northwards to his house at Alreksstader�察�but when he came north�察�as far as Hakonarhella Hill�察�they put in towards the land�察�for by this time the king was almost lifeless。  Then he called his friends around him�察�and told them what he wished to be done with regard to his kingdom。  He had only one child�察�a daughter�察�called Thora�察�and had no son。  Now he told them to send a message to Eirik's sons�察�that they should be kings over the country�察�but asked them to hold his friends in respect and honour。  ;And if fate�察─�added he�察 �should prolong my life�察�I will�察�at any rate�察�leave the country�察�and go to a Christian land�察�and do penance for what I have done against God�察�but should I die in heathen land�察�give me any burial you think fit。;  Shortly afterwards Hakon expired�察�at the little hill on the shore´side at which he was born。  So great was the sorrow over Hakon's death�察�that he was lamented both by friends and enemies�察�and they said that never again would Norway see such a king。  His friends removed his body to Saeheim�察�in North Hordaland�察�and made a great mound�察�in which they laid the king in full armour and in his best clothes�察�but with no other goods。  They spoke over his grave�察�as heathen people are used to do�察�and wished him in Valhal。  Eyvind Skaldaspiller composed a poem on the death of King Hakon�察�and on how well he was received in Valhal。  The poem is called ;Hakonarmal;�此�

     ;In Odin's hall an empty place      Stands for a king of Yngve's race�察      �Go�察�my valkyries��' Odin said�察      �Go forth�察�my angels of the dead�察     �Gondul and Skogul�察�to the plain      Drenched with the battle's bloody rain�察     �And to the dying Hakon tell�察     �Here in Valhal shall he dwell。'

     ;At Stord�察�so late a lonely shore�察     �Was heard the battle's wild uproar�察     �The lightning of the flashing sword      Burned fiercely at the shore of Stord。      From levelled halberd and spearhead      Life´blood was dropping fast and red�察     �And the keen arrows' biting sleet      Upon the shore at Stord fast beat。

     ;Upon the thundering cloud of shield      Flashed bright the sword´storm o'er the field�察     �And on the plate´mail rattled loud      The arrow´shower's rushing cloud�察     �In Odin's tempest´weather�察�there      Swift whistling through the angry air�察     �And the spear´torrents swept away      Ranks of brave men from light of day。

     ;With batter'd shield�察�and blood´smear'd sword      Slits one beside the shore of Stord�察     �With armour crushed and gashed sits he�察     �A grim and ghastly sight to see�察     �And round about in sorrow stand      The warriors of his gallant band�此     �Because the king of Dags' old race      In Odin's hall must fill a place。

     ;Then up spake Gondul�察�standing near      Resting upon her long ash spear�察       �Hakon�  �the gods' cause prospers well�察     �And thou in Odin's halls shalt dwell��'      The king beside the shore of Stord      The speech of the valkyrie heard�察     �Who sat there on his coal´black steed�察     �With shield on arm and helm on head。

     ;Thoughtful�察�said Hakon�察 �Tell me why      Ruler of battles�察�victory      Is so dealt out on Stord's red plain�拭     �Have we not well deserved to gain��'      `And is it not as well dealt out��'      Said Gondul。 `Hearest thou not the shout�拭     �The field is cleared  the foemen run       The day is ours  the battle won��'

     ;Then Skogul said�察 �My coal´black steed�察     �Home to the gods I now must speed�察     �To their green home�察�to tell the tiding      That Hakon's self is thither riding。'      To Hermod and to Brage then      Said Odin�察 �Here�察�the first of men�察     �Brave Hakon comes�察�the Norsemen's king�察      �Go forth�察�my welcome to him bring。'

     ;Fresh from the battle´field came in�察     �Dripping with blood�察�the Norsemen'a king。      `Methinks��' said he�察�great Odin's will      Is harsh�察�and bodes me further ill�察     �Thy son from off the field to´day      From victory to snatch away��'      But Odin said�察 �Be thine the joy      Valhal gives�察�my own brave boy��'

     ;And Brage said�察 �Eight brothers here      Welcome thee to Valhal's cheer�察     �To drain the cup�察�or fights repeat      Where Hakon Eirik's earls beat。'      Quoth the stout king�察�'And shall my gear�察     �Helm�察�sword�察�and mail´coat�察�axe and spear�察     �Be still at hand�  �'Tis good to hold      Fast by our trusty friends of old。'

     ;Well was it seen that Hakon still      Had saved the temples from all ill ��1���察     �For the whole council of the gods      Welcomed the king to their abodes。      Happy the day when men are born      Like Hakon�察�who all base things scorn。       Win from the brave and honoured name�察     �And die amidst an endless fame。

     ;Sooner shall Fenriswolf devour      The race of man from shore to shore�察     �Than such a grace to kingly crown      As gallant Hakon want renown。      Life�察�land�察�friends�察�riches�察�all will fly�察     �And we in slavery shall sigh。      But Hakon in the blessed abodes      For ever lives with the bright gods。;


ENDNOTES�此。�1��  Hakon�察�although a Christian�察�appears to have favoured the      old religion�察�and spared the temples of Odin�察�and therefore      a place in Valhal is assigned him。  L。

1。 GOVERNMENT OF THE SONS OF EIRIK。

When King Hakon was killed�察�the sons of Eirik took the sovereignty of Norway。  Harald�察�who was the oldest of the living brothers�察�was over them in dignity。  Their mother Gunhild�察�who was called the King´mother�察�mixed herself much in the affairs of the country。  There were many chiefs in the land at that time。 There was Trygve Olafson in the Eastland�察�Gudrod Bjornson in Vestfold�察�Sigurd earl of Hlader in the Throndhjem land�察�but Gunhild's sons held the middle of the country the first winter。 There went messages and ambassadors between Gunhild's sons and Trygve and Gudrod�察�and all was settled upon the footing that they should hold from Gunhild's sons the same part of the country which they formerly had held under King Hakon。  A man called Glum Geirason�察�who was King Harald's skald�察�and was a very brave man�察�made this song upon King Hakon's death�此�

     ;Gamle is avenged by Harald�      �Great is thy deed�察�thou champion bold�      �The rumour of it came to me      In distant lands beyond the sea�察     �How Harald gave King Hakon's blood      To Odin's ravens for their food。;

This song was much favoured。  When Eyvind Finson heard of it he composed the song which was given before�察�viz。�此�

     ;Our dauntless king with Gamle's gore      Sprinkled his bright sword o'er and o'er�察─�&c。

This song also was much favoured�察�and was spread widely abroad�察�and when King Harald came to hear of it�察�he laid a charge against Evyind affecting his life�察�but friends made up the quarrel�察�on the condition that Eyvind should in future be Harald's skald�察�as he had formerly been King Hakon's。  There was also some relationship between them�察�as Gunhild�察�Eyvind's mother�察�was a daughter of Earl Halfdan�察�and her mother was Ingibjorg�察�a daughter of Harald Harfager。  Thereafter Eyvind made a song about King Harald�此�

     ;Guardian of Norway�察�well we know      Thy heart failed not when from the bow      The piercing arrow´h
