ON THE POEMS OF OSSIAN. IXT
'•'' mouth of the Vistula, -sve sent the Helsingians
'^ to the Hall of Odin. Then did the sword bite.
" The waters were all one wound. The earth
Malum ferunt timidum incitarc
Aquilam ad gladiorum ludum
Meticulosus venit nuspiara
Cordi suo usui.

Hoc numero aEquum ut procedat
In contactu gladiorum
Juveni- unus contra alterum
Non retrocedat vir a viro
Hoc fuit viri forti; nobilitas diu
Semper debet amoris amicus virginum
Aucax esse in fremitu armorum.

Hoc videtur mihi re vera
Quod fata sequimur
Rarus transgreditur fata Parcarum
Non destinavi tlliE
De vjtae exitu mrae
Cum ego sanguinem semimortuus tegerem
Et naves in aquas protrusi
Passim impetravimus turn feris
£scam in Scotix sinibus.
Hoc ridere me facit semper
Quod Balderi patris scamna
Parata scio in aula
Bibemus cerevisiam brevi
Ex concavis crateribus cranlorum
Non gemit vir fortis contra mortem
Magnifici in Odini domibus
Non venio desperabundis
Verbis ad Odini aulam.
26. ,
Hie vellent nunc omn^es
Filii AslaugJB gladiis
Amarum bellum excitare
