How it is further gone with the Magy ¹

After the Mother was foredone, he had the foddik and the maids brought to his ship together with all the effects which he liked.
Forth went he up the Flymeer for he would abduct the maid of Medeasblik or of Stavora and make one of them to Mother.
Though there were they put on their guard.
The seamen of Stavora and of the Alderga had gladly taken themselves thither, but the great great fleet was out on a far voyage.⁵

Now went they hence and sailed with their little fleet toward Medeasblik.
The Magy neared Medeasblik by bright day and shining sun.
Indeed his people went boldly storming away upon the burgh.
But as all the folk was landed with the boats, came our seamen out of the creek and shot their arrows with turpentine balls upon his fleet.

They were all so well aimed that many of his ships were on fire instantly.¹⁰
They that watched aboard the ships, also shot at us then, though that hit nothing.

When at last a ship all burning drifted toward the ship of the Magy, he ordered his skippers that he should hold off, but the skipper who was the Dane who felled the Finn, answered, thou hast sent our Honoured mother to the bottom of the sea to say that thou shouldest come, shouldest thou forget this is the heat of battle;
now will I see to it that thou provest thy word.

The Magy would ward him off; but the skipper, a true Frisian and strong as a yoke ox;¹⁵
clamped both his hands about his head and heaved him overboard into the swelling sea.
He hoisted forth his brown shield on top and sailed right to our fleet.
Thereby came the maids unharmed to us, but the foddik was gone out and no one wist how it was come to pass.

When they heard on the unwrecked ships that the Magy was drowned, they bore away because the seamen of them were mostly Danes.
After the fleet was far enough away, our sea-men turned and shot their burning arrows down upon the Finns.²⁰
When the Finns thus saw how they were betrayed, everyone leaped through each other and there were no longer neither obedience nor command.

At this time, the defense charged hence from the burgh.
He who fled not was killed off, and he who fled found his end in the pools of the Krylinger forest.

Postscript
When the seamen lay at the creek, there was a joker among them, who said, Medea may laugh as we rescue her out of her burgh.
Therefore have the maids called the creek “Medea may laugh (mei lakkia) (Medemi lacus)”.²⁵

The events which happened thereafter, may all men remember.
The maids delight to tell it in their wise and to let it be well described.
Therefore we reckon our work complete.
Hail.
End of the Book.³⁰
