By My Lord I Will Lie |
| Hark to this folk’s decree |
| Spear and sword-edge we’ll yield to ye |
| Here a good warrior stands |
| Sworn to steadfastly guard this ground |
| Brace, harness the wolf within |
| Faith, to flee is the gravest sin |
| By my lord I will lie |
| Clash, enemy striking forth |
| Hold, never give up the cause |
| By my lord I will die |
| Come, wave-wolves to war |
| Fare ye freely across the ford |
| Fate alone shall decide |
| Who shall master this battle site |
| Brace, harness the wolf within |
| Faith, to flee is the gravest sin |
| By my lord I will lie |
| Clash, enemy striking forth |
| Hold, never give up the cause |
| By my lord I will die |
| 'Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, |
| mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað.' |
| — Battle of Maldon |
| (Thought shall be the harder, heart the keener, |
| Courage the greater, as our strength lessens.) |
| Then spoke the old man, shield raised to the sky |
| Shamed be the ones who seek to abandon the strife |
| Long I am lived, here I will stay |
| One with my lord, not turn away |
| Loud over the sword-play besieged warriors heard |
| Proud men inspired by the wise spearman’s words |
| Long I am lived, here I will stay |
| One with my lord, not turn away |
| Here on the cold ground loyal in death I will remain |
| Brace, harness the wolf within |
| Faith, to flee is the gravest sin |
| By my lord I will lie |
| Clash, enemy striking forth |
| Hold, never give up the cause |
| By my lord I will die |
