>> Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer --
>> That beast didn't have unshiny nostrils!
>> The goodly nose-cartilage glittered and glowed.
>> The hoof-bearers taunted him with proud words;
>> The comrades wouldn't allow wretched Hrodulf
>> To join the reindeer games.
>> Then, on Christmas Eve bound in storms
>> Santa Claus remembered that, spoke formally to him:
>> "Dear night-sighted friend, nose-bright one!
>> You, Hrodulf, shall lead my adorned rapid-wagon!"
>> Then the sky-flyers praised their lead-deer --
>> There was gladness and music; one of the horned ones sang
>> "Lo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer,
>> Your fame spreads broadly, you are renowned!"
