About the Book

Excerpt: ... ointment in perfection,430 Fit to bind the veins together, And to heal the joints completely. From the meadow bring this ointment, And the salve from out the meadow, For upon the wounds I'll spread it, And anoint the bruises with it." Then the bee, that active hero, Flew again on whirring pinions, And across nine lakes he travelled, Half across the tenth he travelled,440 On he flew one day, a second, And at length upon the third day, Never on the reeds reposing, Nor upon a leaf reposing, Came he to the lovely island, Where the land abounds with honey, Till he reached a furious torrent, And a holy river's whirlpool.

There is honey in abundance, In the wood as much as needed, Which was charmed by the Creator, By pure Jumala was breathed on,480 When his children he anointed, Wounded by the powers of evil.
