Ruotus

Lausui Ruotus ruoaltansa,
tiuskui tiskinsä nojalta:
"Mitä sie sanot, katala?
Kuta, kurja, juoksentelet..."

-Kalevala

At his table in his cabin
Sat Ruotus, eating, drinking,
In his simple coat of linen.
With his elbows on the table
Spake the wizard in amazement:
"Why hast thou, a maid of evil,
Come to see me in my cavern,
What the message thou art bringing?
Thereupon the servant, Piltti,
Gave this answer to the wizard:
"Seek I for a spot befitting,
Seek I for a worthy birth-place,
For an unborn child and hero;
Seek it near the Sara-streamlet,
Where the reed-brook pours her waters.

-Kalevala

(This is AGAIN terrible traslation)
