(Thomas James) Grimmer and Kamper, The End of Sivard Snarenswayne, and Other Ballads Grimmer and Kamper -- Mimmering Tan -- The end of Sivard Snarenswayne -- Sir Guncelin's wedding -- Epigrams. Transcribed from the 1913 Thomas J. Wise pamphlet by David Price "Grimmer and Kamper, The End of Sivard Snarenswayne, and Other Ballads" by George Borrow is a collection of lyrical ballads written in the early 20th century. The poems draw on themes of chivalry, valor, and romantic love, and they are heavily influenced by the folklore and traditions of Northern European cultures. This work reflects a poetic style reminiscent of earlier epic poetry, intertwining narratives that celebrate legendary figures and heroic feats. The collection features several ballads, including the titular "Grimmer and Kamper," where a young warrior named Grimmer is determined to marry Ingeborg, facing the formidable Kamper in battle to win her hand. The narrative unfolds with Grimmer receiving help from Ingeborg, leading to an intense duel where he proves his worth against Kamper. Another notable ballad, "The End of Sivard Snarenswayne," tells the tale of Sivard, who avenges his mother by slaying his stepfather and must showcase his prowess to gain favor at the court of the King of the Danes. These ballads, rich in character and action, encapsulate the essence of medieval heroism and the trials faced by knights and warriors in their pursuit of glory and love.
