"What bespeaks this withe to us,

What purports its secret rede?

And what number cast it here,

Was it one man or a host?

"If ye go past here this night,

And bide not [3]one night[3] in camp.

On ye'll come the tear-flesh Hound;

Yours the blame, if ye it scorn!

"[4]Evil on the host he'll bring,[4]

If ye go your way past this.
