Like a worthy wife. Wisely shall counsel

The two who hold their home together.

The ship shall be nailed, the shield be bound,

95 The light linden-wood.

When he lands in the haven,

To the Frisian wife is the welcome one dear:

The boat is at hand and her bread-winner home,

Her own provider. She invites him in

And washes his sea-stained garments and gives him new ones to wear:

100 It is pleasant on land when the loved one awaits you.
