Ia war-ship well constructed
Am decaying in the harbor
Never having sailed to conquest;
Worms are gnawing at my vitals
640
In my hull their dwelling-places
And ill-omened birds of heaven
Build their nests within my rigging;
Frogs and lizards of the forest
Play about my oars and rudder;
Three times better for this vessel
Were he but a valley birch-tree
Or an aspen on the heather
With the squirrels in his branches
And the dogs beneath them barking [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] yilai:

Thus addressed the ship at anchor:

Man-of-warno longer murmur;
Thou shalt sail to Sariola
Sing the war-songs of the Northland
Sail with us to deadly combat.
Wert thou built by the Creator
Thou canst sail the roughest waters
Sidewise journey o'er the ocean;
Dost not need the hand to touch thee
Dost not need the foot to turn thee
Needing nothing to propel thee.
Thus the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]ping boat made answer:
Cannot sail without assistance
Neither can my brother-vessels
Sail unaided o'er the waters
Sail across the waves undriven.
Spake the ancient Wainamoinen:
Should I lead thee to the broad-sea
Wilt thou journey north unaided
