Jatgeir—Trust in yourself and you will be saved!
Paul Flida [enters hastily]—King Skule, look to yourself! Hakon Hakonsson lies off Elgjarness with all his fleet!
King Skule—Off Elgjarness! Then he is close at hand.
Jatgeir—Get we to arms then! If there be bloodshed to-night, I will gladly be the first to die for you!
King Skule—You, who would not live for me!
Jatgeir—A man can die for another's life work; but if he go on living, he must live for his own. [Goes.]
