Explore "Peter Colbiornsen" by George Borrow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Fore Fredereksteen King Carl he lay / With mighty host; / But Frederekshal from day to day, / Much trouble cost. / To seize the sword each citizen / His tools let fall, / And valiant Peter Colbiornsen / Was first of all. / "Thus for Norroway fight the Norsemen".
'Gainst Frederekshal so fierce and grim / Turned Carl his might, / The citizens encountered him / In numbers slight, / But ah, they fought like Northern men, / For much loved land, / And it was Peter Colbiornsen / That led the band. / "Thus for Norroway fight the Norsemen".
