The warder cries to that Islandic dame,

  Who of her sentence has a shrewd suspicion,

  "O lady, let it be no cause of blame,

  That we observe our usage and condition;

  To seek some other rest must be thine aim,

  Since, by our universal band's admission,

  Though unadorned that martial maid be seen,

  Thou canst not match her charms and lovely mien."
