can i just point out what dirty dirty minds the anglo-saxons had?
Riddle 26, translation by me
I am a wonderous creature in the expectation of women,
an aid to neighbours. I never harm any
citizen, save my slayer alone.
My stem is erect, I stand up in bed,
hairy somewhere below. Sometimes a very
comely churl's daughter dares to grasp me,
attacks me in my redness, plunders my head,
fixes me in her stronghold. (she) Feels directly
my encounter, she who confines me,
woman with (the) braided hair. Wet is that eye.
anyone care to solve it?
