Sigmund
-"But Sigmund turned him about, and he said: 'What aileth thee, son?
- Shall our life-days never be merry, and our labour never be done?'
-

- And the noise and the glee of the people as the sound of the wild woods were
- And the blossoming boughs of the Branstock were the wild trees waving about;
