Then the ancient Wainamoinen,

Come from out of Tuoni’s kingdom,

Spake in words, and this their meaning,

This their answer to the hearer:—

“Never mayst thou, God of goodness,

Never suffer such another

Who of self-will goes to Mana,

Thrusts his way to Tuoni’s kingdom.

Many they who travel thither,

Few who thence have found the home-way,
