Urd/Introduction

If you bind me so that I am unable to release myself,
then you will be standing by in such a way
that I should have to wait a long time before I got any help from you.
I am reluctant to have this band put on me.
But rather than that you question my courage,
let someone put his hand in my mouth as a pledge that this is done in good faith.
— Gylfaginning chapter 34
