10. THE FIFTH BATTLE IN FRIESLAND.

King Olaf sailed from thence south to Friesland, and lay under the

strand of Kinlima in dreadful weather. The king landed with his men; but

the people of the country rode down to the strand against them, and he

fought them. So says Sigvat:--

"Under Kinlima's cliff,

This battle is the fifth.

The brave sea-rovers stand

All on the glittering sand;

And down the horsemen ride

To the edge of the rippling tide:

But Olaf taught the peasant band

To know the weight of a viking's hand."
