Hwæt! wē Gār-Dena in geārdagum
þēodcyninga þrym gefrūnon,
hū þā æðelingas ellen fremedon.
Drawn and coloured by the extraordinarily talented
rov, a bovine warrior from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, ready for battle against rival nations, Viking raiders, and Norman knights alike.
Needless to say, that was money very well spent. ^^

Thankee. ^^ The text is actually the opening verse from Beowulf and the language was Old English, so I'm not surprised you couldn't recognise it. It roughly translates into:
"So! the Spear-Danes in days gone by,
and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.
We have heard of those princes' heroic campaigns."
"So! the Spear-Danes in days gone by,

Ah, now that's doubly cool. Here, take these shades! They'll protect your eyes from all the Hollywood grins and glares. But seriously, that's really neet that you used that for a description; heh, I wonder how many others have had problems thinking of what language it was as well. Thanks for the explenations Tolgron!
