Medium-wise should each man be, never to be wise, Because a wise man's heart is seldom glad, If he's a know-it-all, that is. (Words of the High One 55) On My Work I: sól þat né vissi, hvar hon sali átti, stiornor þat né visso, hvar þær staði átto, máni þat né vissi, hvat hann megins átti Sun that did not know that, where she had her hall, Stars did not know that, where they had their home, Moon did not know that, what might she had. (The Seeress's prophecy 6) On My Work II: Þegi þú, Niorðr! þú vart austr heðan gísl um sendr at goðom; Hymis meyiar hǫfðo þic at hlandtrogi oc þér í munn migo. Loki said: Shut up, Niord! You were, east of here, sent as a hostage for the gods; The giant maidens had you for a chamberpot And pissed in your mouth. (Loki's Quarrel 34) On Wanting Too Much "Ræð ec þér nú, Sigurðr, enn þú ráð nemir oc ríð heim heðan! it gialla gull oc it glóðrauða fé, þér verða þeir baugar at bana." Fafnir said: You think me deceitful now, Sigurdr, but take my advice and ride home hence! The yelling gold and the red-glowing wealth, these rings will be your bane." (Lay of Fafnir 20) | |||||
