he's

> >"God save thee, ancient Mariner! From the fiends, that plague thee
thus!--
> >Why look'st thou so?"--With my cross-bow I shot the ALBATROSS.

>
> Danish translation misses (I believe) that origin:
>
> "Jeg føler skæbnen true, thi med min pil og bue, jeg skød en Albatros."

> (I guess this IS NOT from the official danish translation of Coleridge's

> Finnish translation follows that:
> "Mua kohtalo uhkaa hirmuisin, sillä nuolen ammuin ilmoihin ja albatrossia
> haavoitin." (Horrible faith threatens me, since I shot my arrow in the
air,
> and wounded the albatross)
>
> which is not original Finnish translation of the poem.

> How is it in other languages?

> Best Wishes
