By him Hjalmar his brother
Close at his right hand;
Truly is it told to me
He sank to his knees in sand.

72. Up they went from the sea-shore,
Those men of wealth and worth;
The rollers brake, and the earth it shook
As they set their ships in berth.

73. Up they went from the sea-shore,
In their clothes of scarlet so fair;
Their helmets were of burnished gold,
And no man did they fear.

74. All in the middle of the garden
They clad them in cloaks of skin;
They busked them in their cloaks of fur
And entered the high hall within.

75. They busked them in their cloaks of fur
And entered the high hall belive,
Where the King of Uppland sat at the board
With a hundred men and five.

76. Hjalmar went into the high hall
With silk embroidered hood.
His cheeks were red as lobster's claws,
His eyes were like the dove.

77. Angantyr has do'en him to the high hall,
'Twas the custom in days gone by;
And all in a word did he hail the King
And ask for the maid truly.

78. Angantyr stands on the hall floor,
Offers him greeting there;--
"Now hail be to thee, bold King of Uppsaland,
Give me thy daughter fair!"

79. Then up and spake the bold Hjalmar,
Before the broad board he stood:--
"O King, I pray thee, give me thy daughter
Who is so fair and good."

80. Up then rose the bold Hjalmar,
Before the broad board sat he:--
"O King, I pray thee, give me thy daughter
Who is so wise and fair to see."

81. Long in sorrow sat the King
And silently pondered.
What he should answer the two fierce warriors,
Who stood before the board.

82. Up then rose the King of Uppsaland;
Angry and wroth was he:
"My lady daughter shall come to the hall
And for herself reply."

83. They have led his daughter to the hall,
Attended fittingly;
And Hjalmar's face grew red and pale
As in the high-seat sat he.

84. "Now thanks and thanks to my noble father
Who gave this choice to me.
Hjalmar the champion from Uppland,
He shall my husband be.

85. "I will not wed me to Angantyr:
He is so
