When together both | on the bed we sat,

That mightily thou | to me wouldst come

From hell and I | from earth to thee.

[21]. “Pile ye up, jarls, | the pyre of oak,

Make it the highest | a hero e’er had;

Let the fire burn | my grief-filled breast,

My sore-pressed heart, | till my sorrows melt.”

[22]. May nobles all | less sorrow know,

And less the woes | of women become,

Since the tale of this | lament is told.
