19. Lemminkäinen: Resurrection of the Handsome, Yet Frivolous Finnish Epic Hero

    Thus became a mighty hero, In his veins the blood of ages,
    Read erect and form commanding, Growth of mind and body perfect
    But alas! he had his failings, Bad indeed his heart and morals,
    Roaming in unworthy places, Staying days and nights in sequences
    At the homes of merry maidens, At the dances of the virgins,
    With the maids of braided tresses.
