Text Appearing Before Image:
, who was standing near the throne.Lifted his eyes, and lo! he was alone! 296 KING ROBERT OF SICILY But all apparelled as in days of old,With ermined mantle and with cloth of gold;And-when his courtiers came, they found him thereKneeling upon the floor, absorbed in silent prayer. 297 THE BUILDING OF THE LONG SERPENT Thorberg Skafting, master-builder, In his ship-yard by the sea,Whistling, said, It would bewilderAny man but Thorberg Skafting, Any man but me! Near him lay the Dragon stranded.Built of old by Raud the Strong, And King Olaf had commanded He should build another Dragon,Twice as large and long. Therefore whistled Thorberg Skafting,As he sat with half-closed eyes, And his head turned sideways, drafting That new vessel for King OlafTwice the Dragons size.

Workmen sweating at the forgesFashioned iron bolt and bar,Like a warlocks midnight orgiesSmoked and bubbled the black caldronWith the boiling tar. Did the warlocks mingle in it, Thorberg Skafting, any curse ?Could you not be gone a minuteBut some mischief must be doing,Turning bad to worse ? Twas an ill wind that came waftingFrom his homestead words of woe; To his farm went Thorberg Skafting, Oft repeating to his workmen.Build ye thus and so. After long delays returning Came the master back by night; To his ship-yard longing, yearning, Hurried he, and did not leave itTill the mornings light.299 THE BUILDING OF THE LONG SERPENT Come and see my ship, my darling! On the morrow said the King; Finished now from keel to carling ;Never yet was seen in NorwaySuch a wondrous thing! In the ship-yard, idly talking,
