He has to entreat you should

All help poor Sigurd be good.

'Tisn't easy to choke one's barks,

With squirrels making remarks;

'Tisn't easy to travel home

With girls enticing to roam.

All nice things seem to be naughty;

So it's not that Sigurd's grown haughty,

When he meets you at eve on the meadow,

A yellow scud in the shadow,
