His cheeks were red as lobster's claws,

His eyes were like the dove.

77. Angantyr has do'en him to the high hall,

'Twas the custom in days gone by;

And all in a word did he hail the King

And ask for the maid truly.

78. Angantyr stands on the hall floor,

Offers him greeting there;—

"Now hail be to thee, bold King of Uppsaland,

Give me thy daughter fair!"
