THE ARMY AWAKENS 83
E’en as in the songs of old,
To this were they spurred.
The King a ring from his arm
To Tormod then
Gave as a gift with his thanks.
Then swore
‘Tormod an oath to his liege
That he in life as in death
Would follow
Wherever King Olaf might lead.
Then in banter he said:
“Sighvat, thy skald,
No longer with golden hilt
Shall keep thee apart from me.”
Him the King answered:
“Certainly Sighvat this day
In Jorsal is praying for us.”
Tormod then laughed:
“Scant were the guard of thy banner,
Were we to Jorsal marching
This day.”
Turned then the King aside,
Spoke to his followers:
“«Pray must we all this day,
Confessing our sins to God,
Single of purpose,
United with Him in the glorious cause.” —
