NIELS EBBESEN.
All his men the Count collects,
And from Slesvig marched away;
Never such as host was seen
Or before or since that day.
Into Denmark marched the Count,
Followed by so fair a band;
Banners twenty-four they bore,
Power like theirs might none withstand.
Gert the Count to Randers rode,
To bad counsel lending ear;
For from old it stood foretold,
He should end there his career.
He would not the place avoid,
But seemed bent to tempt his fate;
Of the rural lords and thanes
He the quarters up will beat.
Knights and freeborn men apart,
There trooped eighteen thousand bows;
Forty thousand made they all,
Who could such a host oppose?
To Niels Ebbesen the Count
Word to appear before him sent;
And safe convoy him he gave,
Which should doubt and fear prevent.
Gert the Count met Ebbesen
North of Randers by the sea:
"Welcome be, Niels Ebbesen!
Say how matters stand with thee."
