Runic Poems

​

Old Norwegian

​

Þurs vældr kvinna kvillu,
kátr værðr fár af illu.

​

Thurs ("Giant") causes anguish to women,
misfortune makes few men cheerful

​

​

Old Icelandic

​

Þurs er kvenna kvöl
ok kletta búi
ok varðrúnar verr.
Saturnus þengill.

​

Thurs ("Giant") is torture of women
and cliff-dweller
and husband of a giantess
Saturn's 
thegn
.

​

​

Anglo-Saxon

​

Ðorn byþ ðearle scearp;
ðegna gehwylcum anfeng ys yfyl,
ungemetum reþe manna gehwelcum,
ðe him mid resteð.

​

The thorn is exceedingly sharp,
an evil thing for any thegn to touch,
uncommonly severe on all who sit among them.
