This is not so pleasant for me. I will take the maid to Väinö, Pass her on to Väinämöinen, 200 On his knee as wife to seat her, Dovelike in his arms to nestle.

O thou aged Väinämöinen, Here I bring a damsel for you, And a damsel fair to gaze on, And her mouth gapes not too widely, And her chin is not too broadened.

Wherefore have you brought her to me, Brought to me this golden spectre?

With the best intent I brought her, On your knee as wife to rest her, Dovelike in your arms to nestle.

O thou smith, my dearest brother, Thrust the damsel in the furnace, Forge all sorts of objects from her, Or convey her hence to Russia, Take your image to the Saxons, Since they wed the spoils of battle, And they woo in fiercest combat; But it suits not my position, Nor to me myself is suited, 230 Thus to woo a bride all golden, Or distress myself for silver.

Never, youths, however wretched, Nor in future, upgrown heroes, Whether you have large possessions, Or are poor in your possessions, In the course of all your lifetime, While the golden moon is shining, May you woo a golden woman, Or distress yourselves for silver, For the gleam of gold is freezing, Only frost is breathed by silver.
