My son sent this to me about a year ago, and I thought you all may interested in this also.
1. To maintain candor and fidelity in love and devotion to the tried friend: though he strikes me I will do him no scathe
2. Never to make wrongsome oath: for great and grim it's the reward for the breaking of plighted troth.
3. To deal not hardly with the humble and lowly.
4. To remember the respect that is due to great age.
5. To suffer no evil to go unremedied and to go flight against the enemies of family, nation, race and faith: my foes I will fight in the field nor be burnt in my house.
6. To succour the friendless but to put no faith in the pledged word of a stranger people.
7. If I hear the fools word of drunken man I will strive not: for many a grief and the way death groweth from out such things.
8. To give kind heed to dead men: straw dead, sea dead or sword dead.
9. To abide by the enactments of lawful authority and to bear with courage the decrees of the Norns.
