Havamal Dog Tag, Stanza 16

Carry ancient Viking wisdom around your neck with this brushed, matte stainless steel dog tag. Stanza 16 from the Havamal is written on both sides of it with runes. It translates from Old Norse to:

"The coward believes he will live forever
If he holds back in the battle,
But in old age he shall have no peace
Though spears have spared his limbs."

Hávamál ("sayings of the high one") is a collection of Old Norse poems from the Viking Age. They present advice for living, proper conduct and wisdom.
