- “A woman's honor rests on manly love.”
- “A sense of justice is a noble fancy.”
- “Hener was the hero-king,Heaven-born, dear to us,Showing his shieldA shelter for peace.”
- “A glimpse of Breidablick, whose walls are lightAs e'en the silver on the cliff it shone;Of dark blue steel its columns azure heightAnd the big altar was one agate stone.It seemed as if the air upheld aloneIts dome, unless supporting spirits bore it,Studded with stars Odin's spangled throne,A light inscrutable burned fiercely o'er it;In sky-blue mantles,Sat the gold-crowned gods before it.”
