The Hail-Storm. from the Ancient Norse

(This piece describes the disaster of Sigvald, Earl of Jomsborg, a / celebrated viking or pirate, who, according to tradition, was repulsed / from the coast of Norway by Hakon Jarl, with the assistance of Thorgerd, a / female demon, to whom Hakon sacrificed his youngest son, Erling.)

For victory as we bounded, / I heard, with fear astounded, / The storm, of Thorgerd's waking, / From Northern vapours breaking.
