Off to Tuonela the bearer, Quick to Manala the handmaid, Ere the moon again has risen, Or this very day is ended!

O thou beer, thou drink so nasty, In an evil hour concocted, Evil only lurks within thee! 160 Notwithstanding I will drink it, On the ground will cast the refuse, With my nameless finger lift it, With my left thumb will I lift it.

As a guest I am not honoured, Since no ale was brought unto me Which was better worth my drinking, Offered me by hands more careful, In a larger vessel brought me; Since no sheep was slaughtered for me, No gigantic steer was slaughtered, 190 In the hall no ox they brought me, From the house of hooféd cattle.

Wherefore have you then come hither, Who invited you among us?

Good is perhaps the guest invited, Better still if uninvited. 200 Hearken then, thou son of Pohja, Pohjola's illustrious Master, Give me ale for cash directly, Reach me here some drink for money.

Here's a river you may drink of, Here's a pond that you may splash in.
human
I'm no calf by women driven, Nor a bull with tail behind me, That I drink of river-water, Or from filthy ponds the water.
