Unknown (Riddle Genius) - Riddles From The Book Of Exeter "41-50" lyrics

41. This Riddle was unrecoverable :( 42. I watched a couple of curious creatures copulating openly out of doors; the fair-haried, flushed woman got her fill under her garments if the work was fruitful. I can tell men in the hall - those who are well-versed - the names of these creatures with runes. there shall be Need (N) twice over, and one gleaming Ash (AE) on the line, two oaks (A) and two Hailstones (H) also. With the key's power, who has unlocked the treasury's chained door that, firm in intent, denies runeman access to the riddle, covered in its heart with cunning bonds? Now they're exposed to men drinking in the hall - the proper names of this feather-brained pair. 43. I've heard tell of a noble guest; man entertains him. He's not prey to hunger pangs or burning thirst; age and illness are unknown to him. If the servant tends him well, satisfies this guest who must go on a journey, both will be happy in their home, live in prosperity, surrounded by a family; but there'll be sorrow if the servants neglects his lordly guest, his rulers on the journey. Think of them as brothers, fearless of each other. When they depart, together desert one kinswoman (their mother and sister), both suffer hurt. Let him who can put names to the pair I describe - the guest, then his servant, the host. 44. A strange thing hangs by a man's thigh, hidden by a garment. It has a hole in its head. It is still and strong and its firm bearing reaps a reward. When the man hitches his clothing high above his knee, he wants the head of that hanging thing to poke the old hole (of fitting length) it has often filled before. 45. I'm told a certain something grows in its pouch, swells and stands up, lifts its covering. A proud bride grasped that boneless wonder, the daughter of a king covered that swollen thing with clothing. 46. A man sat sozzled with his two wives, his two sons and his two daughters, darling sisters, and with their two sons, favoured firstborn; the father of that fine pair was in there too, and so were an uncle and a nephew. Five people in all sat under that same roof. 47. A moth devoured words. When I heard of that wonder it struck me as a strange event that a worm should swallow the song of some man, a thief gorge in the darkness on fine phrases and their firm foundation. The thievish stranger was not a whit the wiser for swallowing words. 48. I heard a radiant ring, with no tongue, intercede for men, though it spoke without argument or strident words. The silent treasure said in front of men: 'Save me, helper of souls.' May men understand the mysterious saying of the red gold and, as the ring said, wisely entrust their salvation to God. 49. I know something that stands earthfast; deaf and dumb, in the daylight hours it often devours useful gifts handed to it by a servant. at times, in the houses of men, some dark-skinned, swarthy slave puts more into it mouth, dearer than gold, things such as sthelings, kings and queens, dream of. But I will not name it, this dumb creature here, this somber nitwit, that for their use gives back to brave men exactly what it has eaten, earlier. 50. On earth there's a warrior of wonderous origin. He's created, gleaming, by two dumb creatures for the benefit of men. Foe bears him against foe to inflict harm. A woman often fetters him, strong as he is. If women and men provide for him in the proper manner and often feed him, he'll obey them and serve them well. Those who succor him win themselves pleasure. But this warrior savages the man who lets him become proud.
