Fair kingdoms afield heard word far and wide
Of the beauty and bounty that Queen Sigga bore
But mindful of fame must those be who find it.
For one who heard word of her wonder… waged war.
Those were fierce warriors! Far would they fare!
Riding the roads of the valley and vale-
Careful concealment of course and of causeway,
Assured their assault would in secret assail
The bold hall of Sigga. But Beofrith heard this,
That warrior well known! He gathered the war band
And garnered together the greatest of Geats-
The bravest and boldest throughout all the land.
I went with those warriors, harp in my hand!
For wise was the word of Sigga well known.
The joy of her hall and the justness of cause
Deemed well worth defending for honor alone.
