Njal Grimmsson
fallen in Spring Crown Tourney, A.S. XXXI
(Englynion)
Pass around the drinking horn -
Welcome Njal, son of Grimm
Fill his mead-cup to the brim
Pass around the drinking horn -
Tell us, brother, of the fray
How you fared Crown Tourney day
Pass around the drinking horn -
I did bash a fiercesome knight
Sent him up with angels' flight
Pass around the drinking horn -
Then a Scotsman, awesome foe
Sent me where the thistles grow
Pass around the drinking horn -
Up I popped without a beat
Mindful of a royal seat
Pass around the drinking horn -
Silver oak stood in my way
Put an ending to my day
Pass around the drinking horn -
Hale and welcome to Njal
Come to join us in Valhall
