THE KING OF DENMARK'S SONS

In Denmark gone is many a year,

So fair upriseth the rim of the sun,

Two sons of Gorm the King there were,

So grey is the sea when day is done.

Both these were gotten in lawful bed

Of Thyrre Denmark's Surety-head.

Fair was Knut of face and limb

As the breast of the Queen that suckled him.
