Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Essay on Some Phases of the Maritime Life of France and England Directly Traceable to the Vikings Rollo - Gange-Rolf. (Translated by Wilhelm Pettersen.) Fierce son o´ the North, he graved his history By valor´s mighty sword forged by Victory. In high-beaked ships o´er turbulent seas he went And on fair England´s shore first pitched his tent. Exiled from home, om Neustria´s shore he found A home full worthy of his great renown, And here he gathered hosts of heros brave Who fought to conquer or to seek a grave. Of Roman and of Franc he left no trace, But planted in the land a new-born race Whose courage blended well with reason´s sway. This pirate-chief to faith oped wide his soul, And as a statesman played a founder´s role. His sword made wide th´ horizon of his day. Rouen he ruled as duke, the while kings feared When Rollo´s battle-ry, "harou," they heard Rising from ships that anchored ´neath the throne. In lofty strains the Scalds his deeds proclaimed - Him History one of her heros named - Founder of Normandy, Old Norway´s mighty son!
