Up spoke Harald in wrathful case:
"I would have word with this waxen face!
"What wilt thou pay, thou huckstered
That I let thee live another year?
"For oath that thou wilt never reign
Will I let thee live a year or twain."
"Kisses and love shalt thou have of me
If yet my liegeman thou wilt be.
"But stroke of sword, and dint of axe,
Or ere thou makest my face as wax."
