Snake Pit Poetry
nú munk nár af bragði
ok naer dýrum deyja
gnyðja mundu grísir
ef galtar hag vissi
mér er gnótt at grandi
grafa inn rönum sínum
ok harðliga hváta
hafa mik sogit, ormar
nú munk nár af bragði
ok naer dýrum deyja
gnyðja mundu grísir
ef galtar hag vissi
mér er gnótt at grandi
grafa inn rönum sínum
ok harðliga hváta
hafa mik sogit, ormar
nú munk nár af bragði
ok naer dýrum deyja
gnyðja mundu grísir
ef galtar hag vissi
mér er gnótt at grandi
grafa inn rönum sínum
ok harðliga hváta
hafa mik sogit, ormar
nú munk nár af bragði
ok naer dýrum deyja
eigi hugðak orma
at aldrlagi mínu
verðr mjök mörgu sinni
þats minnst varir sjálfan
eigi hugðak orma
at aldrlagi mínu
verðr mjök mörgu sinni
þats minnst varir sjálfan
nú munk nár af bragði
ok naer dýrum deyja
gnyðja mundu grísir
ef galtar hag vissi
mér er gnótt at grandi
grafa inn rönum sínum
ok harðliga hváta
hafa mik sogit, ormar
nú munk nár af bragði
ok naer dýrum deyja
Snake Pit Poetry
I will soon taste death
and near animals die
Pigs would squeal
if they knew the fate of the boar
I have plenty to mourn
burying their secrets
and harshly scolding
have sucked me, snakes
I will soon taste death
and near animals die
Pigs would squeal
if they knew the fate of the boar
I have plenty to mourn
burying their secrets
and harshly scolding
have sucked me, snakes
I will soon taste death
and near animals die
Pigs would squeal
if they knew the fate of the boar
I have plenty to mourn
burying their secrets
and harshly scolding
have sucked me, snakes
I will soon taste death
and near animals die
I never thought of snakes
in my lifetime
it often happens
that the least expected
I never thought of snakes
in my lifetime
it often happens
that the least expected
I will soon taste death
and near animals die
Pigs would squeal
if they knew the fate of the boar
I have plenty to mourn
burying their secrets
and harshly scolding
have sucked me, snakes
I will soon taste death
and near animals die
