George Walter Thornbury on Vikings
← Back to George Walter Thornbury Profile
“Thorkill and Thorston from Jutland came To torture us Saxons with sword and flame.”
“Bring me my armour, Sigurd, I'll die as my fathers died, Not like a wolf in a shepherd's trap, But in all a warrior's pride. Strike on the brazen targets, And let our clarions ring; I'll meet this Death they talk of, As a King should meet a King.”
