"Ej! you shall not fulfill your threat. The Order knows how to punish not only the monks " Sir de Fourcy being excited by these words, drew his sword, and seized the blade with his left hand; his right hand he put on the hilt and said: "On this hilt which is in the form of the cross, on St.
At this Macko's face grew long, but he recovered himself and said: "Ej, why should you think about death! May the Lord Jesus grant you a hundred years or more of life, and an important bishopric soon." "Certainly! Am I worse than others?" said the abbot. "Not worse, but better!" These words appeased the abbot, for his anger never lasted long.
But after awhile he added: "The castellan also told me this: 'On account of the queen's death, we forgot about your nephew; but now his sentence must be executed." "Ej, he will permit," answered Zbyszko, hopefully. "He knows that a nobleman will keep his word, and it is just the same to him, whether they behead me now, or after St. Michael's day." "Ha! I will go to-day."
The ballad is touching to a degree, and the verse "Hvor kan man plukker Roser Hvor ingen Roser groer? Hvor kan man finde Kjærlighed Hvor Kjærlighed ej boer?" "Where can one pluck roses Where no roses grow? Where can one find affection Where no affection lives?" is exquisitely tender. Helga had heard the song often, and sang it herself, but it had never seemed to possess such a depth of feeling.
"We shall see how Danusia's brave knight will acquit himself." "Ej! They are of oak, those fellows! Did you hear what they said about that fight for four knights on each side?" "Perhaps they will join our court; they are consulting with each other now."
Here the curiosity so increased among the noblemen and merchants, that they stretched their necks in the direction of Macko of Bogdaniec and they asked: "And who are the knights from our side?

Jagienka sang another couplet; but when she finished, she noticed a big tear rolling down Zbyszko's fingers. Then she sat down beside him, and began to touch him with her elbow. "What is the matter with you? I do not want to make you cry.
For my part I will do anything I can; but the princess is his own sister, and I am only his first cousin." "The king loves you also, gracious lady." "Ej, but not as much," she answered with a certain sadness; "for me a link, for her a whole chain; for me a fox skin, for her a sable. He loves none of his relations as dearly as he loves Alexandra." Thus talking, they approached Krakow.
"Digtet fortæller on det forsög der blev gjort på at stille den lange fejde, der var fört mellem Danernes folk og Hadbardernes, af Halvdan og Hrodgar imod Frode og Ingeld. Ofte, ej sjælden, hviler dog dödsspyddet kun föje tid efter mandefald, hvor gæv så bruden er. Da mæler ved öllet en gammel spydkæmpe, der ser skatten, og mindes al mændenes undergang; grum er hans hu.
Ej, he is cunning, that old Edyga! He understood at Tavania that the prince's army had increased and had gone far beyond the tenth-land!" "But you returned?" "Yes, I returned. There is nothing to do there. In Krakow I heard about you, and that you had started a little ahead of me."
