“I grew and waxed in wisdom;

word following word, I found more words,

deed following deed, I wrought deeds.”

“I'll ask of the berserks, those tasters of blood,

Those intrepid heroes, how are they treated,

Those who wade out into battle?

Wolf-skinned they are called.

In battle they bear bloody shields.

Red with blood are their spears when they come to fight.

They form a closed group.

The prince in his wisdom puts trust in such men

Who hack through enemy shields.”

— Haraldskvæði [Norwegian poem, 9th Century AD]
