One night Ird stole down to the hut of Lo, carrying his sharp axe, and he went very softly, but Lo's dog, Warner, heard him coming, and he growled softly by his master's door. ONE NIGHT ERD STOLE DOWN TO THE HUT OF LO CARRYING HIS SHARP AXE AND HE WENT VERY SOFTLY BUT LO'S DOG WARNER HEARD HIM COMING AND HE GROWLED SOFTLY BY HIS MASTER'S DOOR
o give us ultimately the steel sword and the plough, machinery and factories; let us not blame Loz if we think that he did wrong, for he did all in ignorance. The tribe moved on until it came to water, and there it settled down under a hill, and they built their huts there. Very soon they had to fight with another tribe, a tribe that was stronger than they; but the sword of Loz was terrible and his tribe slew their foes. You might make one blow at Loz, but then would come one thrust from that iron sword, and there was no way of surviving it. No one could fight with Loz. And he became ruler of the tribe in the place of Iz, who hitherto had ruled it with his sharp axe, as his father had before him. Now Loz begat Lo, and in his old age gave his sword to him, and Lo ruled the tribe with it. And Lo called the name of the sword Death, because it was so swift and terrible. And Iz begat Ird, who was of no account. And Ird hated Lo because he was of no account by reason of the iron sword of Lo. ORN ASIDE BY LAWS TO GIVE US ULTIMATELY THE STEEL SWORD AND THE PLOUGH MACHINERY AND FACTORIES LET US NOT BLAME LAWS IF WE THINK THAT HE DID WRONG FOR HE DID ALL IN IGNORANCE THE TRIBE MOVED ON UNTIL IT CAME TO WATER AND THERE IT SETTLED DOWN UNDER A HILL AND THEY BUILT THEIR HUTS THERE VERY SOON THEY HAD TO FIGHT WITH ANOTHER TRIBE A TRIBE THAT WAS STRONGER THAN THEY BUT THE SWORD OF LAWS WAS TERRIBLE AND HIS TRIBE SLEW THEIR FOES YOU MIGHT MAKE ONE BLOW AT LAWS BUT THEN WOULD COME ONE THRUST FROM THAT IRON SWORD AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF SURVIVING IT NO ONE COULD FIGHT WITH LAWS AND HE BECAME RULER OF THE TRIBE IN THE PLACE OF IS WHO HITHERTO HAD RULED IT WITH HIS SHARP AXE AS HIS FATHER HAD BEFORE HIM NOW LAWS BEGAT LOW AND IN HIS OLD AGE GAVE HIS SWORD TO HIM AND LO RULED THE TRIBE WITH IT AND LO CALLED THE NAME OF THE SWORD DEATH BECAUSE IT WAS SO SWIFT AND TERRIBLE AND IS BEGAT URD WHO WAS OF NO ACCOUNT AND URD HATED LO BECAUSE HE WAS OF NO ACCOUNT BY REASON OF THE IRON SWORD OF LO
