Án Lv 5VIII (Án 5)/1 — Meyjar ‘maidens’

Meyjar spurðu,         er mik fundu,
hvíthaddaðar:         ‘hvaðan komtu ferfaldr?’
En ek svaraða         silki-Gunni
heldr hæðinni:         ‘hvaðan er logn úti?’

Hvíthaddaðar meyjar spurðu, er mik fundu: ‘hvaðan komtu ferfaldr?’ En ek svaraða heldr hæðinni silki-Gunni: ‘hvaðan er logn úti?’

The fair-haired maidens asked, when they met me: ‘Where did you come from, fourfold?’ But I answered the rather mocking silk-Gunnr <valkyrie> [WOMAN]: ‘Where does the calm outside come from?’
