Dross comes from bad iron; the reindeer often races over the frozen snow. Giant causes anguish to women; misfortune makes few men cheerful.

Ice we call the broad bridge; the blind man must be led. Plenty is a boon to men; I say that Frothi was generous. Sun is the light of the world; I bow to the divine decree. Tyr is a one-handed god; often has the smith to blow. Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub; Loki was fortunate in his deceit. Man is an augmentation of the dust; great is the claw of the hawk. A waterfall is a River which falls from a mountain-side; but ornaments are of gold. Yew is the greenest of trees in winter; it is wont to crackle when it burns.
