THE SINCLAIR BALLAD.[60]
Herr Sinclair sailed across the sea,
And steered his course to Norway's strand:
'Mid Gudbrands' rocks his grave found he,—
There were broken crowns in Sinclair's band.
Herr Sinclair sailed o'er the blue wave,
That he might fight for Swedish gold:
God help thee, man! thyself now save;
Thou'lt fall before the Norsemen bold.
