Time ‘tis to discourse from the preacher’s chair. - By the well of Urd I silent sat, I saw and meditated, I listened to men’s words. Of runes I heard discourse, and of things divine, nor of graving them were they silent, nor of sage counsels, at the High One’s hall. In the High One’s hall. I thus heard say:
Mál er at þylja þular stóli á Urðar brunni at sá ek ok þagðak sá ek ok hugðak hlýdda ek á manna mál of rúnar heyrða ek dœma né um ráðum þögþu Háva höllu at Háva höllu í heyrða ek segja svá
