Do the composers have awesome names?
Kind of? Laurentius Laurenti is from the Galileo school of doubling down on things, and Sarah B. Findlater (the translator) is an interesting compound. "What did you do with the lost keys?" "Oh I'll find them...later."
How's the rhyme scheme?
Pretty repetitive? The first two lines feature appear/near, near/clear, and appear/sphere, so IDK if the Swedish original is that boring or they just liked the theme.
Is the first verse theological advice to go wrestle?
Absolutely, which made my brother and I grin about it the year he was on the middle school wrestling team.
