Trumpets, speak for Gamelbar!Blare as ye never blared before!Heave a brayIn the horns to-day,The red war-horns of Gamelbar!To-night for Gamel,The North for Gamel,With fires on the hills for Gamelbar!
Shout for Gamel, Gamelbar,Till your throats can shout no more!Heave a cryAs he rideth by,Sons of Orm, for Gamelbar!Folk for Gamel,Fame for Gamel,Years and fame for Gamelbar!
Chorus:—Oh, sleep for a knaveWith his sins in the sod!And death for the brave,With his glory up to God!And joy for the girl,And ease for the churl!But the great game of warFor our lord Gamelbar,Gamelbar!
THE OUTLAW.
Oh, let my lord laugh in his hallsWhen he the tale shall tell!But woe to Jarlwell and its walls
