He envoys sends with all despatch
To seek a maid with his son to match.
They travelled wide with unwearied mind
Before his equal they could find.
O’er land and sea so wide they speed,
Until they reached the land of Swede.
And when they reached the Swedish State,
They found one worthy to be his mate.
Damsel Thura the maiden hight,
In Swedish land was none so bright.
The loveliest maiden in all the land,
Her father was high Sir Sallemand.
He was a noble rich and great,
His equal was not in Sweden’s State.
So glad to Norroway back they wend,
That the matter be brought to a happy end.
They the tidings to their lord declare
That they had found a damsel rare.
No fairer was in the Swede countrie,
Nor in all the isles there round that be.
