Excerpt from Runic Odes From the Norse Tongue
Trace again the folemn rhyme From Orient's ever-teeming clime I fee them come an evil race, Bold in heart and item in face In turbulent array they fweep, Beneath them groans the burthen'd deep; Fierce they ruih, yet all obey Monarch Lok's refifilefs fway. Gaunt and wild with favage howl, Mark the wolfifh Fenris prowl With him fialks a furious train.

Excerpt from Runic Odes From the Norse Tongue
These curious remains of the most remote Northern Antiquity are taken from the Treatise of Bartholinus on the causes of the contempt of death among the Danes.
They are attempted from the originals, in that manner which Mr. Gray conceived as best adapted to transfuse the wild spirit of Norse poetry into the English language.
Numeros animosque secutus
Archilochi, non verba.
The literal Latin translation of the two first Odes is subjoined, for the satisfaction of those who may wish to observe how the radical positions and ideas may be expanded in conformity to the genius of these prophetic scriptures of the North.
