8. Birth-runes learn, if help thou wilt lend,

The babe from the mother to bring;

On thy palms shalt write them, and round thy joints,

And ask the fates to aid.

9. Wave-runes learn, if well thou wouldst shelter

The sail-steeds out on the sea;

On the stem shalt thou write, and the steering-blade,

And burn them into the oars;

Though high be the breakers, and black the

waves,

Thou shalt safe the harbor seek.

10. Branch-runes learn, if a healer wouldst be,

And cure for wounds wouldst work;

On the bark shalt thou write, and on trees that be

With boughs to the eastward bent.
