Excerpt from Frithiof: A Norwegian Story
The present is not the only appearance of F rithiof in an English dress. The Reverend Mr. Strong, after whom I should, assuredly, have never entered the field, had I not allowed myself greater latitude than that author chose to take, was the first who made his country familiar with the genius of Tegner. A second translation soon followed, apparently the production of a variety of writers.
Since the commencement of my own version, a change has gone over the fortunes of the Scandinavian Muses. True it is, that they have sought Lavinian shores, and have been transplanted to the more hospitable clime of Britain. But the more honourable escort that they might (if Muses hope) have once hoped would conduct their emigration, they have lost. A bard, worthier of them than myself, was to have been my coadjutor in rendering F rithiof whom, however, he deserted for severer studies, early indeed, but not entirely; since, in the forthcoming pages, several passages are more his than mine, and several entirely his own, purpurei panni, on a more ignoble texture.1t IS this friend.
