He rose from the board, | made ready to sleep;

Soon in the bed | himself did he lay,

And on either side | the others were.

[20]. Thus was he there | for three nights long,

Then forward he went | on the midmost way,

And so nine months | were soon passed by.

[21]. A son bore Amma, | with water they sprinkled him,

Karl they named him; | in a cloth she wrapped him,

He was ruddy of face, | and flashing his eyes.
