YOUNG SWAIGDER, OR THE FORCE OF RUNES. [_It was the 5
young Swaigder_]

THE HAIL STORM. [_As in Horunga Haven_] 14

Previously printed in _Romantic Ballads_, 1826, pp.
136-138. Again printed in _Targum_, 1835, pp. 42-43.

In each instance the text varied very considerably. The
present version was written about 1854, and represents
the text as Borrow finally left it. I quote the first
stanza of each version. It will be seen that the
revision was progressive.

1826

_When from our ships we bounded_,
_I heard_, _with fear astounded_,
_The storm of Thorgerd's waking_;
_With flinty masses blended_,
_Gigantic hail descended_,
_And thick and fiercely rattled_
_Against us there embattled_.
