Havamal 142:
Rúnar munt þú finna ok ráðna stafi,
mjök stóra stafi, mjök stinna stafi,
er fáði fimbulþulr ok
gerðu ginnregin
ok reist hroftr rögna.

Havamal 144:
Veistu, hvé rísta skal? Veistu, hvé ráða skal?
Veistu, hvé fáa skal? Veistu, hvé freista skal?
Veistu, hvé biðja skal? Veistu, hvé blóta skal?
Veistu, hvé senda skal? Veistu, hvé sóa skal?

Runes shalt thou find,  and fateful signs,
That the king of singers colored,
And the mighty gods have made;
The signs are full of strengths, and full with might
Written by the ruler of gods.

Do you know how one shall write, 
Do you know how one shall read,
Do you know how one shall color, 
Do you know how one makes trial,
Do you know how one shall ask, 
Do you know how one shall offer,
Do you know how one shall send, 
Do you know how one shall sacrifice ?

Runar

Þaðan koma meyjar margs vitandi 
þrjár, ór þeim sal er und þolli stendr; 
Urð hétu eina, aðra Verðandi, 
skáru á skíði, Skuld ina þriðju; 

Voluspa 20

Thence come the maidens mighty in wisdom, Three from the dwelling down 'neath the tree; Urth is one named,  Verthandi the next,-- On the wood they scored,--  and Skuld the third.
