Original Old Norse: | Auden & Taylor: | Bellows: | Bray: |
Þat kann ek annat er þurfu ýta synir þeir er vilja læknar lifa |
I know a second that the sons of men Must learn who wish to be leeches. |
A second I know, | that men shall need Who leechcraft long to use; |
146. A second I know, which the son of men must sing, who would heal the sick. |
Chisholm: | Hollander: | Terry: | Thorpe: |
I know another that is needed by the sons of men, who want to be leeches. |
That other I know which all will need who leeches list to be: (on the bark scratch them of bole in the woods whose boughs bend to the east). |
I know another which all men need who hope to be healers. |
149. For the second I know, what the sons of men require, who will as leeches live. *********************** *********************** *********************** |
Straight foreward and simple, this one. If you want to be a healer, you have to learn first. |
