So þat he knewen at þe laste,

They know he is Birkabeyn’s son and heir.

Þat he was birkabeynes sone,

Þat was here king, þat was hem wone

Wel to yeme, and wel were

Ageynes uten-laddes here.

“For it was neuere yet a broþer

In al denemark so lich anoþer,

So þis man þat is so fayr

Als birkabeyn, he is hise eyr.”
