Buckshank bold, and Elfinstone, / And more than I can mention here. / They caused to be built so stout a ship, / And unto Iceland they will steer.
They launched the ship upon the sea, / Which bellowed like a wrathful bear; / Down to the bottom the vessel sank, / A laidly Trold has dragged it there.
