How
often
is
the
fate
of
kingdoms
given
into
child
hands,
or
even
committed
to
the
care
of
Bird
or
Beast!
A
She-wolf
nursed
the
Roman
Empire.
A
Wren
pecking
crumbs
on
a
drum-head
aroused
the
Orange
army,
it
is
said,
and
ended
the
Stuart
reign
in
Britain.
Little
wonder,
then,
that
to
a
noble
Reindeer
Buk
should
be
committed
the
fate
of
Norway:
that
the
Troll
on
the
wheel
should
have
reason
in
his
rhyme.
These
were
troublous
times
in
Scandinavia.
Evil
men,
traitors
at
heart,
were
sowing
dissension
between
the
brothers
Norway
and
Sweden.
"Down
with
the
Union!"
was
becoming
the
popular
cry.
Oh,
unwise
peoples!
If
only
you
could
have
been
by
Sveggum's
wheel
to
hear
the
Troll
when
he
sang:
The
Raven
and
the
Lion
They
held
the
Bear
at
bay;
But
he
picked
the
bones
of
both
When
they
quarrelled
by
the
way.
