Ósnjallr maðr
hyggsk munu ey lifa,
ef hann við víg varask;
en elli gefr
hánum engi frið,
þótt hánum geirar gefi.

I, like many others here, am of Scandinavian decent (Norwegian) and have found an identity in reconnecting with my heritage. I have been trying to learn Norwegian for a little while now and recently stumbled over the Havamal... Of course I can only understand the English version so far, but I am interested in finding on old Norse, or original, translation of a certain "verse"... The coward believes he will live forever If he holds back in the battle, But in old age he shall have no peace Though spears have spared his limbs. If you can point me in the right direction I would be incredibly appreciative. First off thank you for maintaining this site.

The coward believes he will live forever
If he holds back in the battle,
But in old age he shall have no peace
Though spears have spared his limbs.
