Langleit ertu, fóstra, ok lætr róa nefit;
ei hefi ek flagðit felligra litit;
eða hvert hefir þú förina görva?
Ertu langleit, fóstra, ok lætr nefit róa; ek hefi ei litit flagðit felligra; eða hvert hefir þú görva förina?

[1] fóstra ‘foster-mother’: Ketill addresses Forað as ‘foster-mother’ as an allusion to her (great) age, not because she is actually his foster-mother.
