Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Vikings: Stories of Life and Sport in the Norseland He thrust, when I meekly objected, A clinched little fist in my face; I had no choice but surrender, And give him charge of the place. He heeded no creature´s pleasure; But oft, with a conqueror´s right, He sang in the small hours of morning, And dined in the middle of night. And oft, to amuse his Highness - For naught we feared as his frowns - We bleated and barked and bellowed, And danced like circus-clowns. Then crowed with delight our despot; So well he liked his home, He summoned his brother, Algie, From the realm beyond the foam. And he is a laughing tyrant, With dimples and golden curls; He stole a march on our heart-gates, And made us his subjects and churls. He rules us gayly and lightly, With smiles and cajoling arts; He went into winter-quarters In the innermost nooks of our hearts.
