Thank you Sarah, as for there he dares not -
oh Dear! Patricia "Fess up"( I should have liked to
have said it was a typo,) what's that past conditional or what. but it was a
mistake on my part you see my reply to Alan, I get my tenses mixed up
sometimes, pity you cannot ask my Latin Teacher (you'ld need a
seance)
Just a question for you, or anyone else who can shed any
light on the matter - why is "er hann gengi til kirkju um kveldit" in the
subjunctive??? so saith Sarah -
Patricia's reply is - Because it was the Kings Intent
and/or Custom to attend at Easter, so that they could all join in with the
Christos Voskres (SP?) or whatever they did you know thats how they did
it in Russia, but my PC's keyboard does not do the letters for it
Christos Voskres - He is Risen
Voistnyu Vostkres - He is Risen Indeed well
that's what it means, and it comes at the end of evening, well it's early
Sunday Morning sometimes, and then the King could take time at the feast,
because he's paid his obligations to his Lord, well they were very devout and
I guess King Sweinn was a Christian King, they do it in Greece like that, but
Darn my spelling -
Christos Annesti reply is Alekhou Annesti, please excuse me
I get carried away
It might also intend - Because he was to have walked to
Church provided etc etc
He arrived then in Denmark at
Easter (it is Pasqua in
Italian)
þangat sem konungr er þá
staddr.
Thither as the King is there
present
where the King was staying
En eigi þorði hann at láta sjá sik;
But not dare he at place be
seen
But he did not dare show his
face
ok var í kirkjuskoti ok ætlaði þá til fundar við
konung,
and was in a wing of church and thought
there to meet with the King
and waited in a wing of the Church
hoping to meet the King
er hann gengi til kirkju um kveldit.
was he walking to Church about
Evening
and he walked to the Church in the
evening (the King walked) (as did everyone else)
Ok nú er hann sá konunginn ok hirðina fagrliga
búna,
and now that he sees the King and his
Retainers (his Company) beautifully clad
And now that (again?) he saw the King
and his retainers so well dressed
þá þorði hann eigi at láta sjá sik.
there dares he not at place be
seen
he dare not show his face.
Ok er konungr gekk til drykkju í höllina,
And is the King (went?) to drinking in
the Hall
And when the King went to the Feast in
the Hall
þá mataðisk Auðun úti, sem siðr er til
Rúmferla
Then was fed Auðun outside as custom to
Pilgrims
Then Auðun ate outside, as it was the
custom for the Pilgrims
meðan þeir hafa eigi kastat staf ok
skreppu.
while they have not cast off staff and
Scrip
While they still carry the staff and
Scrip (a small sack carried by a Pilgrim)
Auðun was showing the customary humility
of a Pilgrim since joining their Ranks, and he is ashamed of his
appearance, but I'm sure the King will have pity, and probably give him
employment
I wanted to translate "while I write the
Television shows "The World is not Enough" and made it to
be
hrið ek skrift Farri-Sja syna "Verøld
eigi ærit" unless rit is correct
Please Sarah let Alan have this one,
because he was so helpful with Part 12, and I would value his
contribution, my studies are such an enjoyment to me
Auðun arrives back at Sveinn´s court,
rather the worse for wear.
Hann kømr aptr í Danmörk at páskum,
þangat sem konungr er þá staddr. En eigi þorði hann at láta sjá
sik; ok var í kirkjuskoti ok ætlaði þá til fundar við konung, er hann
gengi til kirkju um kveldit. Ok nú er hann sá konunginn ok
hirðina fagrliga búna, þá þorði hann eigi at láta sjá sik. Ok er
konungr gekk til drykkju í höllina, þá mataðisk Auðun úti, sem siðr er
til Rúmferla, meðan þeir hafa eigi kastat staf ok
skreppu.
