Snorri-Edda

Old Norse, ed. Faulkes, p. 57,1

(181) Mólu meyjar,
megins kostuðu.
Váru ungar
í jǫtunmóði.
Skulfu skapttré,
skauzk lúðr ofan,
hraut hinn hǫfgi
hallr sundr í tvau.

English, tr. Brodeur, 1916, p. 168,1-169,1

The maidens ground,
Their might they tested,
(169,1) Young and fresh
In giant-frenzy:
The bin-poles trembled,
And burst the flour-box;
In sunder burst
The heavy boulder.

Norwegian, tr. Holtsmark, p. 147,1

Møyene malte
av all sin maKt,
unge var de,
og Jotner
i sinn.
Stengene skalv,
luren styrtet ned,
den tunge steinen
røk i to.
