THE GIANT OF BERN AND ORM UNGERSWAYNE a ballad by GEORGE BORROW London: printed for private circulation 1913 p. 5THE GIANT OF BERN AND ORM UNGERSWAYNE It was the lofty Jutt of Bern O’er all the walls he grew; He was mad and ne’er at rest, To tame him no one knew. He was mad and ne’er at rest, No lord could hold him in; If he had long in Denmark stayed Much damage there had been. It was the lofty Jutt of Bern Bound to his side his glaive, And away to the monarch’s house he rode With the knights a fray to have. p.
