Title: Gebo Poem
Post by: Grymdycche on February 06, 2011, 11:34:48 AM

(http://phrets.com/runeforum/images/Gebo.gif)  Gebo  G  Yay-bō, (alt Gay-bō)  AKA Gyfu


Old English only

Gyfu gumena byþ gleng and herenys,
wraþu and wyrþscype and wræcna
gehwam ar and ætwist,
ðe byþ oþra leas.



         Generosity brings credit and honour,
         which support one's dignity;
         it furnishes help and subsistence to all broken men
         who are devoid of aught else.
