For by the gangway naked stood
Young Tyr, as when he first was born:
In his left hand he grasp’d his sword;
A shark enormous hove in sight!
The hero brave jump’d overboard,
With the fell shark to prove his might.
Now must each Disa shake with fear;
The monster bravely fought, in truth;
It open’d wide its frightful mouth,
And snapp’d with fury after Tyr.
