“ The man who does not know the might
Of love an ignorant man I reckon.
“With water we the fire can quench,
And slake the brand that’s fiercely glowing,
But though the flame with floods we drench
The flame of love will yet be growing. ”

“ It was Hogen the King’s son bold
Unto the field of battle wended,
And every one who brand could hold
His sovereign to the field attended.
Each man in the land could bear a blade
To fight the foe with him has wended ”
