[a]82]. When the gale blows hew wood, | in fair winds seek the water;
Sport with maidens at dusk, | for day’s eyes are many;
From the ship seek swiftness, | from the shield protection,
Cuts from the sword, | from the maiden kisses.
[a]83]. By the fire drink ale, | over ice go on skates;
Buy a steed that is lean, | and a sword when tarnished, [[46]]
The horse at home fatten, | the hound in thy dwelling.

[84]. A man shall trust not | the oath of a maid,
Nor the word a woman speaks;
