Note 19 — HAROLD’s COMPLAINT.[18] A SCANDINAVIAN ODE. FROM DR ALEXANDER’S HISTORY OF WOMEN. [19]
Reading edition
“The Scandinavian women were chaste, proud, and tenacious of their lover’s glory, despising such as spent their life in obscurity. We, therefore, often find an hero minutely detailing his accomplishments, and pursuits, to the object of his passion, as in the following Ode of Harold the Valiant.”—See Alexander’s History of Women.
