Old Norse, ed. Faulkes, p. 44,1
Til allra heita Freyju er rétt at kenna grátinn ok kalla svá gullit, ok á marga lund er þessum kenningum breytt, kallat hagl eða regn eða él eða dropar eða skúrir eða forsar augna hennar eða kinna eða hlýra eða brá eða hvarma.
English, tr. Brodeur, 1916, p. 149,1-150,1
--It is proper to join ‘tears’ with all the names of Freyja, and (150,1) to call gold by such terms; and in divers ways these periphrases have been varied, so that gold is called Hail, or Rain, or Snow-Storm, or Drops, or Showers, or Water falls, of Freyja’s Eyes, or Cheeks, or Brows, or Eyelids.
