Frithjof in single combat by E. Klein 1899

"At last Frithjof felles his foe, and held him down with his knee. 

"Had I but my sword," he cried, "thou black-bearded maniac, I should quickly make an end of thee."

"Have thy will," was Atle's proud retort. "Go, get thy sword; I have no wish to run away. We both must see Valhalla some day; I go now, thou mayest follow me to-morrow."

Frithjof seemed minded to take his prostrate foe's advice; already Angurwadel was raised above him, yet Atle did not stir. Such manliness touched the victor's generous heart; his anger fell, he cast the sword aside, and took the fallen man by the hand."
