…Unz þrír kvámuór því liðiöflgir ok ástkiræsir at húsi,fundu á landilítt megandiAsk ok Embluörlöglausa
Önd þau né áttu,óð þau né höfðu,lá né lætiné litu góða;önd gaf Óðinn.óð gaf Hænir,lá gaf Lóðurrok litu góða
Eismall-sut og vervillTils eg råka degMaður er manns gaman
…Until three of the Æsirassembled there,strong and benevolent,came to the sea;they found on the shoretwo feeble trees.Ask and Embla,with no fixed fate
They had no breath,they had no spirit,neither warmth nor voicenor fine complexion;Odin gave them breathHaenir gave them spiritLodur gave them warm lifeand fine complexion
Sorrowed by solitudeand astray – until I met youMan is man's joy
