" " Is it a proof of knighthood, at this hour, When Norway holds alliance with thy king, Resting in faith upon a solemn league ; Wouldst thou, at this still hour, basely invade A city sleeping in the arms of peace ? Dreading no stratagem, or fierce assault From coward- foe, who shuns the light of day ; And on the fold, steals like the prowling wolf! At least, would st woo me as a hero, Sigurd. " " Thou wrong st me, Elfreide ; Sigurd wars not thus ; We shall do battle in the eye of day. But I wo...uld shield thee, Elfreide, from the shock 48 ELFREIDE OF GULDAL.
Which bides to-morrow s sun, and place thee, where Honor and deference shall attend. " Not so, " Elfreide replies, while in her crimson d cheek, Determin d eye, and firm erected mien, The soul heroic of old Norway speaks. " Not so ; for honor, life, and every hope, All have their issues in my country ! Nay, Unhand me, Sigurd ! hence, depart, or now Guldal shall wake, and thou escapest not. " There is a heav n-imparted effluence, A panoply of light to virtue given, Which when it speaks out from a woman s soul, Comes forth in utt rance like an angel-voice, Appalling and arresting brutal force.
