Glorious to behold was Niord the hero,

As he pranced along the meadows gay:

Graceful through the sky his courser’s pinions

Floated like a dream i’ th’ morning grey:

Quick he views, and leaves as quickly,

All he finds, both far and near:

With bright beams

Proudly gleams,

Perch’d upon his helm, the morning star.

Of your aid deprived, O skilful Vaner!
