Snorri-Edda

Old Norse, ed. Faulkes, p. 54,1

(54,1) (166) ‘Varattu, Fróði,
fullspakr of þik,
málvinr manna,
er þú man keyptir.
Kauss þú at afli
ok at álitum,
en at ætterni
ekki spurðir.

English, tr. Brodeur, 1916, p. 164,1

’Thou wast not, Fródi,
Full in wisdom,
Thou friend of men,
When thou boughtest the maidens:
Didst choose for strength
And outward seeming;
But of their kindred
Didst not inquire.

Norwegian, tr. Holtsmark, p. 144,1

«Frode, du var ikke
fullvis dengang
du kjøpte deg jenter,
du gjeve blant menn!
Du valte etter kraft
og vent andlet,
men etter ætten spurte du ikke.
