Anon (FoGT) 37III/4 — mildingr ‘prince’

Sæll er sienn í milli
siðvendis kvikvenda
mána ranns af mönnum
mildingr, þá er barz hingað,
eða þá er djúp að djúpi
dorgtúns niða borgar
um hljóðraufar hávar
hátt samþykkið vátta.

Sæll mildingr ranns mána er sienn af mönnum í milli kvikvenda siðvendis, þá er barz hingað, eða þá er djúp dorgtúns vátta hátt samþykkið að djúpi um hávar hljóðraufar borgar niða.

The blessed prince of the house of the moon [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)] was seen by men between animals of uprightness, when he was born into this world, or when the deep of the fishing-line-field [SEA] loudly bore witness of concord to the deep across the high sound-crevices of the stronghold of the phases of the moon [SKY/HEAVEN].
