    The Riming Song or Riming Poem is part of the Exeter Book. The trouble is that only a certain number of the poems contained in this collection are readily available in translation. Poems such as The Wanderer, The Seafarer and The Wife's Lament can be found in any collection of Old English verse. The Riddles are also a fairly popular choice for translation. But I've not come across a translation of the Riming Song myself, and I don't know if anyone's published the whole of the Exeter Book in translation. Anyone else?
