Angantýr Lv 6VIII (Heiðr 37)/1 — mær ‘girl’

Kveðkat ek þik, mær ung,         mönnum líka,
er þú um hauga         hvarfar á nóttum
gröfnum geiri         ok með Gota málmi,
hjálmi ok með brynju,         fyrir hallar dyrr.

Ek kveðkat þik, ung mær, líka mönnum, er þú hvarfar um hauga á nóttum gröfnum geiri ok með málmi Gota, hjálmi ok með brynju, fyrir dyrr hallar.

I would not declare you, young girl, [to be] like humans, when you wander around the mounds at night, with engraved spear and with the metal of the Goths, with helmet and with mail-shirt, before the doors of the hall.
