The Wisdom of Bredbad, the son of Bertbert, the son of Bertbert:I am not good by nature nor am I naturally happy.But if I fall it is a fault of my own not my mom or pappy.I have been the witness of one thousand fallen.For this I am not fortunate.For me it is torture-nate.I ponder these 'til I am withered and sullen.Power is pleasant if served under glass, or eaten like pheasant causing my voice to rasp.The killer be killed, the dancing man stilled. When bees of plenty sting my heart many.I emaciate... thinner, thinner... thinner.
