" King Ethelred has found a friend, Brave Olaf will his throne defend— In bloody fight Maintain his right, Win back his land With blood-red hand, And Edmund's son upon his throne replace-Edmund, the star of every royal race ! " At London Bridge stout Olaf gave Odin's law to his war-men brave— ' To win or die !' And their foemen fly : Some by the dyke-side refuge gain, Some in their tents on Southwark plain. This sixth attack Brought victory back."
