It was told of Ulf
that he was
a great householder;
it was his wont to rise
up early,
and then go round
among his labourers or
where his smiths were,
and to overlook
his stalk and fields,
and at times
he would talk
with such as
needed his counsel,
and good counsel
he could give in
all things,
for he was very wise.
But everyday
as evening drew on he
became sullen,
so that few could come
to speak with him.
He was an
evening sleeper,
and it was commonly
said that he was very
shape strong.
He was called Kveldulf.
