King Harald was very proud, and his pride increased after he was established in the country; and it came so far that at last it was not good to speak against him, or to propose anything different from what he desired. So says Thiodolf, the skald: --

"In arms 'tis right the common man Should follow orders, one by one, -- Should stoop or rise, or run or stand, As his war-leader may command; But now to the king who feeds the ravens The people bend like heartless cravens -- Nothing is left them, but consent To what the king calls his intent."
