Saint Boniface
"As their gods were, so their laws were;
Thor the strong could reave and steal,
So through many a peaceful inlet
tore the Norse man’s eager keel;
But a new law came when Christ came,
and not blameless, as before,
Can we, paying him our lip-tithes,
give our lives And faith to Thor."
James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
