Angantýr Lv 8VIII (Heiðr 41)/6 — ór ‘from’

Heimsk ertu, Hervör,         hugar eigandi,
er þú at augum         í eld hrapar.
Heldr vil ek selja þér         sverð ór haugi,
mær in unga;         mákat ek þér synja.

Ertu heimsk, Hervör, eigandi hugar, er þú hrapar í eld at augum. Ek vil heldr selja þér sverð ór haugi, in unga mær; ek mákat synja þér.

You are foolish, Hervǫr, [but] in possession of courage, since you rush into the fire with your eyes open. I will rather give you the sword from the mound, young woman; I cannot refuse you.
