Ormr Woman 3III/4 — lǫstu ‘vices’

Hrosta drýgir hvern kost
hanglúðrs gæi-Þrúðr,
en drafnar loga Lofn
lǫstu rækir vinfǫst.

Gæi-Þrúðr hanglúðrs hrosta drýgir hvern kost, en Lofn loga drafnar, vinfǫst, rækir lǫstu.

The watching Þrúðr <goddess> of the hanging vessel of mash [CAULDRON > WOMAN] possesses every excellence, and the Lofn <goddess> of the fire of the wave [GOLD > WOMAN], loyal to her friends, rejects vices.
