This is a love Song of the Laplanders, wherewith they incourage their Rain-deers to travell nimbly along. For all delay, tho in it self short, is tedious to lovers. They use too at other times to entertain themselves with such Sonnets, when at some distance from their Mistresses, and therein to make mention of them, and extoll their beauty. One of this kind I received of the said Olaus, and seeing we have lit upon this subject, I here set it down.
Pastos paiwa Kiufwresist jawra Orre Iawra
Ios kaosa kirrakeid korngatzim
Ia tiedadzim man oinæmam jaufre Orre Jawra
Ma tangast lomest lie sun lie
Kaika taidæ mooraid dzim soopadzim
Mak taben sadde sist oddasist
Ia poaka taidæ ousid dzim karsadzim
