Uprising from my watery bed,

And woo the Vánar chief to rest

A moment on my glittering crest.

Refresh thy weary limbs, and eat

My mountain fruits for they are sweet.

I too, O chieftain, know thee well;

Three worlds thy famous virtues tell;

And none, I ween, with thee may vie

Who spring impetuous through the sky.

To every guest, though mean and low.
