FOR LOVE OF AN ARYAN WOMAN

The following magificent epitaph was found
carved on a stone in the Swiss alps, in
one of the early Gothic runic alphabets.
Archaeologists and scholars are not certain
exactly how old it is, but they believe it
may date from around the fifth century A. D.

 Traveller, short is my say.
 Stop and read these runes.
 This somber slab covers a beautiful woman.
 Her name was Juhiza.
 She was my light and my only love.
 What I wished, she wished also.
 What I shunned, she shunned also.
 Good she was, and chaste, loyal, discreet.
 She walked nobly and spoke kindly.
 Traveller, I have finished.
 Go.
