PAGE

The Giant of Bern and Orme Ungerswayne. [_It was the 5
lofty jutt of Bern_, _O'er all the walls he grew_]

Fifteen stanzas, descriptive of the incident of Orm's
obtaining his father's sword from the dead man's grave,
were printed in _Targum_, 1835, pp. 59-61, under the
title _Birting_. _A Fragment_. The text differs greatly
in the two versions, that of the later (which, though not
printed until 1913, was written about 1854) is much the
superior. As an example I give the first two stanzas of
each version:

1835

_It was late at evening tide_,
_Sinks the day-star in the wave_,
_When alone Orm Ungarswayne_
_Rode to seek his father's grave_.

_Late it was at evening hour_,
_When the steeds to streams are led_;
_Let me now_, _said Orm the young_,
_Wake my father from the dead_.

1913

_It was so late at evening tide_,
_The sun had reached the wave_,
_When Orm the youthful swain set out_
_To seek his father's grave_.

_It was the hour when grooms do ride_
_The coursers to the rill_,
_That Orm set out resolved to wake_
_The dead man in the hill_.

There is a copy of _The Giant of Bern and Orm Ungerswayne_ in the Library
of the British Museum. The Press-mark is C. 44. d. 38.
