Introductory Note
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Bellows, Henry Adams
The dwelling of the Buthlungs, | and the shield-maids burned,
They were slain in the house, | in the hot flames they sank.
46. Now the tale is all told, | nor in later time
Will a woman in byrnie | avenge so her brothers;
The fair one to three | of the kings of the folk
Brought the doom of death | ere herself she died.
Still more is told in the Greenland ballad of Atli. [480]
