Heil Odin!!!

No better burden can a man carry on the road
than a store of common sense;
better than riches it will seem in an unfamiliar place,
such is the resort of the wretched.
stanza 10

He’s a wretched man, of an evil disposition,
the one who makes fun of everything;
he doesn’t know the one thing he ought to know;
that he himself is not devoid of faults.
stanza 22

To his friend a man should be a friend
and to his friend’s friend too;
but a friend no man should be
to the friend of his enemy.
stanza 43
