# Anglo-Saxon Riddles of the Exeter Book/Annotated/55

55 (k-d 88)
Of the opening lines only a few words remain, and probably the end is lost.
| But I stood upright where I [was], I and my brother. Both of us were hard. The place was noble where we two stood, the higher in honor. The holt often hid us, a shelter of trees in the dark nights, shielded us from showers. The Lord made us both. After us two large ones, our kin will now follow us, younger brothers will drive us from our home. I am unique in the world. My back itself is dark and wonderful. I stand on the wood, at the end of the board. My brother is not here, but brotherless now I must keep my place at the end of the board and firmly stand. I know not where my brother is now or where he dwells on the bosom of earth, who formerly dwelt high by my side. We stood together in making war; neither alone declared his strength, else were we in battle both unavailing. Now strange beings tear into me, injure my insides. I cannot escape. On the tracks he will find success, he who seeks it, . . . . his soul’s profit. … | 10 20 30 | Ic weox þær ic s[…] […] ⁊ sumor · mi[…] […]me wæs min t[…] […] […]d ic on staðol[…] […]m geong swa […] […] seþeana oft geond […]fgeaf · Ac ic uplong stod þær ic […]x ⁊ mine broþor begen wæron hearde · eard wæs þy weorðra þe wit on stodan hyrstum þy hyrra ful oft unc holt wrugon wudubeama helm wonnū nihtū scildon wið scurum unc gescop meotud · Nu unc mæran twam magas uncre sculon æfter cuman eard oðþringan gingran broþor eom ic gum cynnes · anga ofer eorþan Is min bæc · wonn ⁊ wundorlic Ic on wuda stonde bordes on ende nis min broþor her · Ac ic sceal broþorleas bordes on ende staþol weardian stodan fæste · ne wat hwær min broþor on wera æhtum eorþan sceata · eardian sceal se me ær be healfe heah eardade wit wæron gesome sæcce to fremmanne næfre uncer awþer his ellen cyðde swawit þære beadwe begen ne onþungan hu mec unsceafta Innan slitað wyrdaþ mec be wombe ic gewendan ne mæg æt þā spore findeð sped se þe se[…] […] sawle rædes |
Antler, horn, inkhorn. There is some disorder in the text apart from the omissions due to damage to the manuscript; possibly the Exeter scribe had an imperfect copy before him. Apparently the “tracks” (l. 31) would be something written, homiletic or copied from the Bible.

| Old with many days over deep streams; sometimes he would climb the steep hills up in his homeland; sometimes he went back into deep dales, seeking for safety, strong of stride. He dug into stony ground, frozen hard; sometimes he shook the frost from his bright white hair. I rode with the eager ones until my younger brother seized the seat of joy and drove me off from my own home. Then the dark iron wounded me within; no blood flowed forth, no gore from within though the sharp-edged steel bit into me hard. I mourned not the time, nor wept for the wound, nor could I avenge my heavy fate, a life for a life: but I suffer the torment of all that bit the shield. Now I swallow the black, the wood and water. I embrace within me what falls from above on me where I stand (it is something dark). I have one foot. Now the ravaging foe plunders my treasure who bore once widely the wolf’s companion. What came from within me moves on and on, steps on the stout board . . . . | 10 20 30 | Frēa min […] […]de willum sinū […] heah ⁊ hyht[…] […]earpne hwilū […] […]wilum sohte frea […]s wod dægrime frōd deo[…]s · hwilū stealc hliþo stigan sceolde up in eþel · hwilū eft gewat In deop dalu duguþe secan strong on stæpe stanwongas grof hrimig hearde · hwilum hara scōc forst of feax Ic of fusum rad oþþæt him þone gleawstol gingran broþor min agnade ⁊ mec on earde adraf siþþan mec isern Innanweardne brun bennade blod ut ne com heolfor of hreþre þeah mec heard bite stiðecg style no ic þa stunde bemearn ne for wunde weop ne wrecan meahte on wigan feore wonnsceaft mine ac ic aglæca ealle þolige ꝥ te bord biton nu ic blace swelge wuda ⁊ wætre w[…]b[…] befæðme þæt mec on fealleð ufan þær ic stonde eorpes nathwæt hæbbe anne fot · Nu min hord warað hiþende feond se þe ær wide bær wulfes gehleþan · oft me of wombe bewaden fereð steppeð on stið bord […] […] deaþes d[…] þōn dægcondel sunne […] […]eorc eagum wliteð ⁊ spe[…] |
The answer is Inkhorn, its history from its beginning as an antler to its use in writing. The lines are ambitiously elaborate and leave the impression that the writer’s reach exceeded his grasp. A paraphrase will make the text clearer: “The stag on which I grew ranged the woodland, shed its antlers, and new ones grew in their place. The stag was killed and I was cut from its head and hollowed out to make an inkhorn. But I do not complain or seek vengeance, though I was sorely hurt by the iron instrument—what had, or might have, cut into battle shields” (or, as Wyatt interprets, “was pierced by the nails which fastened it to the stand”). The foe is the scribe with his quill pen (the feather of a raven, the wolf’s companion in battle) writing on the stiff vellum.

| Beautifully made in many ways is this our world, cunningly adorned. Marvelous is its motion, I saw this device grind against the gravel, crying out as it went. This marvelous thing had no sight nor feeling, neither shoulders nor arms. One foot only had this curious device to journey along on, to move over the fields. It had many ribs, its mouth was midway. Useful to mortals, it bears abundance of food to the people, brings them plenty and pays to men annual tribute which all enjoy, the high and the lowly. Explain if you can, who are wise in words, what this thing may be. | 10 | Is þes middangeard missenlicum wisum gewlitegad wrættum gefrætwad siþum sellic ic seah searo hweorfan grindan wið greote giellende faran næfde sellicu wiht syne ne folme exle ne earmas sceal on anum fet searoceap swifan swiþe feran faran ofer feldas hæfde fella ribba muð wæs on middan moncynne nyt fere foddurwelan folcscipe dreogeð wist in wigeð ⁊ werum gieldeð gaful geara gehwam þæs þe guman brucað rice ⁊ heane rece gif þu cunne wis worda gleaw hwæt sio wiht sie |
It is a Ship. Its one foot is the keel; the rest is easy. The verbal repetitions are in the original. The first two lines are a formula, as in 44 (k-d 31), which just precedes it in the manuscript, and may be only a careless mechanical repetition on the part of the scribe.

52 (k-d 17)
| I protect my hearth, my hoard and my home, surrounded by strands and filled within with excellent treasures. Often by day I spit abroad the terror of spears. My success is the greater the more I am filled. My master sees this, how darts fly from within me. Sometimes I swallow the swart dark weapons, the poisoned darts. My entrails are good, precious to warriors, the hoard that I hold. Many remember what goes through my mouth. | 10 | ᛚ ᛒ Ic eom mundbora minre heorde eodor wirum fæst innan gefylled dryhtgestreona dægtidum oft spæte sperebrogan sped biþ þy mare fylle minre freo þæt bihealdeð hu me of hrife fleogað hyldepilas hwilum ic sweartum swelgan onginne brunum beadowæpnum bitrum ordum eglum attorsperum. is min innað til · wombhord wlitig wloncū deore men gemunan þæt me þurh muþ fareð |
The manuscript has above this the rune for B, either for Burg, ‘town,’ or for Ballista. If the former, the answer is a Town defended by its inhabitants. Above the rune for B, moreover, is the rune for L, and this points to Ballista, an engine for throwing missiles, as the solution, favored by recent editors. Since both answers would fit, the ambiguity is probably intentional, to promote argument.

| I am atheling’s shoulder-companion, a warrior’s comrade, dear to my master, a fellow of kings. His fair-haired lady sometimes will lay her hand upon me, a prince’s daughter, noble though she be. I have on my breast what grew in the grove. Sometimes I ride on a proud steed at the army’s head. Hard is my tongue. Often I bring a reward for his words to the singer after his song. Good is my note, and myself am dark-colored. Say what my name is. | 10 | Ic eom æþelinges eaxlgestealla fyrdrinces gefara frean minum leof cyninges geselda cwen mec hwilum hwitloccedu hond on legeð eorles dohtor þeah hio æþelu sy hæbbe me on bosme þæt on bearwe geweox hwilum ic on wloncū wicge ride herges on ende heard is min tunge oft ic woþboran wordleana sū agyfe æfter giedde Gōod is min wise ⁊ ic sylfa salo saga hwæt ic hatte |
Various answers have been proposed, but doubtless Horn is right. The antler is made into a horn: it is filled with mead; its harsh note is heard in battle; it is given to a scop as reward for his singing. The first line of this riddle stands alone, k-d 79,
| I am an atheling’s possession and delight | Ic eom æþelinges æht ⁊ willa |
This may be a variant reading or the first line of a different riddle, of which the remainder is lost. For “note” (l. 10) the original has wise, either ‘melody’ or ‘manner, way.’

| I war oft against wave and fight against wind, do battle with both, when I reach to the ground, covered by the waters. The land is strange to me. I am strong in the strife if I stay at rest. If I fail at that, they are stronger than I and forthwith they wrench me and put me to rout. They would carry away what I ought to defend. I withstand them then if my tail endures and the stones hold me fast. Ask what my name is. | 10 | Oft ic sceal wiþ wæge winnan ⁊ wiþ winde feohtan somod wið þā sæcce þōn ic secan gewite eorþan yþum þeaht me biþ se eþel fremde ic beom strong þæs gewinnes gif ic stille weorþe gif me þæs tosæleð hi beoð swiþran þōn ic ⁊ mec slitende sona flymað willað oþfergan þæt ic friþian sceal ic him ꝥ forstonde gif min steort þolað ⁊ mec stiþne wiþ stanas moton fæste gehabban frige hwæt ic hatte |

The Anglo-French Declaration was signed between France and Great Britain on 7 November 1918 agreeing to implement a "complete and final liberation" of countries that had been part of the Ottoman Empire including the establishment of democratic governments in Syria and Mesopotamia. The agreement made it explicit that the form of the new governments was to be determined by local populations rather than imposed by the signatory powers.
English-language translations of Anglo-French Declaration include:
* Quoted in full in The King-Crane Commission Report (1919), (external scan)

36. But you will perhaps say that these allegories are not found in the whole body of the story, but that some parts are written so as to be understood by all, while others have a double meaning, and are veiled in ambiguity. That is refined subtlety, and can be seen through by the dullest. For because it is very difficult for you to transpose, reverse, and divert to other meanings all that has been said, you choose out some things which suit your purpose, and by means of these you strive to maintain that false and spurious versions were thrown about the truth which is under them. But yet, supposing that we should grant to you that it is just as you say, how do you know, or whence do you learn, which part of the story is written without any double meaning, which, on the other hand, has been covered with jarring and alien senses? For it may be that what you believe to be so is otherwise, that what you believe to be otherwise has been produced with different, and even opposite modes of expression. For where, in a consistent whole, one part is said to be written allegorically, the other in plain and trustworthy language, while there is no sign in the thing itself to point out the difference between what is said ambiguously and what is said simply, that which is simple may as well be thought to have a double meaning, as what has been written ambiguously be believed to be wrapt in obscurity. But, indeed, we confess that we do not understand at all by whom this is either done, or can be believed to be possible.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Lit., “were placed above the interior truth.”
* ↑ Lit., “with simple senses.”
* ↑ i.e., involved in obscurity.
* ↑ i.e., free from ambiguity.
* ↑ Lit., “of shut-off obscurities.”
* ↑ The reference is to the words in the middle of the chapter, “how do you know which part is simple?” etc.; Arnobius now saying that he does not see how this can be known.

4. But, says my opponent, it is not for this reason that we assign temples to the gods as though we wished to ward off from them drenching storms of rain, winds, showers, or the rays of the sun; but in order that we may be able to see them in person and close at hand, to come near and address them, and impart to them, when in a measure present, the expressions of our reverent feelings. For if they are invoked under the open heaven, and the canopy of ether, they hear nothing, I suppose; and unless prayers are addressed to them near at hand, they will stand deaf and immoveable as if nothing were said. And yet we think that every god whatever—if only he has the power of this name—should hear what every one said from every part of the world, just as if he were present; nay, more, should foresee, without waiting to be told what every one conceived in his secret and silent thoughts. And as the stars, the sun, the moon, while they wander above the earth, are steadily and everywhere in sight of all those who gaze at them without any exception; so, too, it is fitting that the ears of the gods should be closed against no tongue, and should be ever within reach, although voices should flow together to them from widely separated regions. For this it is that belongs specially to the gods,—to fill all things with their power, to be not partly at any place, but all everywhere, not to go to dine with the Æthiopians, and return after twelve days to their own dwellings.

* ↑ Lit., “knowledge being anticipated.”
* ↑ These words, et tacitis, omitted by Oberthür, are similarly omitted by Orelli without remark.
* ↑ So the edd., inserting quo- into the ms. reading ita-que—“it is therefore fitting,” which is absurd, as making the connection between the members of the sentence one not of analogy, but of logical sequence.
