Hǫrðr Lv 1VIII (HjǪ 22)/5 — Ekkert ‘no’

Hver ertu,         þrifnust fljóða,
hýrlunduð með kinn         ok fagra lokka?
Ekkert vífa         ek leit hæverskligra
        fyr jörð ofan.

Hver ertu þrifnust fljóða, hýrlunduð með kinn ok fagra lokka? Ek leit ekkert hæverskligra vífa fyr ofan jörð.

Who are you, most prosperous of women, of cheerful disposition with cheek and fair locks? I have seen no woman more courteous upon the earth.
