Do you deem, then, that fortune is kind to me? You said but now that full well you knew What brought me to Solhoug-- (MARGIT: I told you true!) Then you know what of late has befallen me;-- You have heard the tale of my outlawry? (MARGIT: An outlaw! You, Gudmund!) I am indeed. But I swear, by the Holy Christ I swear, Had I known the thoughts of your heart, I ne'er Had bent me to Solhoug in my need. I thought that you still were gentle-hearted, As you ever were wont to be ere we parted: But I truckle not to you; the wood is wide, My hand and my bow shall fend for me there; I will drink of the mountain brook, and hide My head in the beast's lair. [On the point of going.
