Spoken Lore

Alvis spake “What hero claims such right to hold O’er the bride that shines so bright? Not many will know thee, thou wandering man! Who was bought with rings to bear thee?” ~ Alvissmal, stanza 5

Thor spake “Answer me, Alvis! thou knowest all, Dwarf, of the doom of men: What call they the ale, that is quaffed of men, In each and every world?”

Alvis spake: “‘Ale’ among men, ‘Beer’ the gods among, In the world of the Wanes ‘The Foaming’; ‘Bright Draught’ with the giants, ‘Mead’ with dwellers in Hel, ‘The Feast-Draught’ with Suttung’s sons.” ~ Alvissmal, stanzas 34 & 35
