Dangers of Alchohol!

Better gear than good sense
A traveller cannot carry,
Better than riches for a wretched man,
Far from his own home,


Better gear than good sense
A traveller cannot carry,
A more tedious burden than too much drink
A traveller cannot carry,


Less good than belief would have it
Is mead for the sons of men:
A man knows less the more he drinks,
Becomes a befuddled fool,


I forget is the name men give the heron
Who hovers over the feast:
Fettered I was in his feathers that night,
When a guest in Gunnlod's court


Drunk I got, dead drunk,
When Fjalar the wise was with me:
Best is the banquet one looks back on after,
And remembers all that happened,
