...Unz þrír kvámu
ór því liði
öflgir ok ástkir
æsir at húsi,
fundu á landi
lítt megandi
Ask ok Emblu
örlöglausa
Önd þau né áttu,
óð þau né höfðu,
lá né læti
né litu góða;
önd gaf Óðinn,
óð gaf Hænir,
lá gaf Lóðurr
ok litu góða
Eismall-sut og vegvill
Tils eg råka deg
Maður er manns gaman
-----------------------
MannaR - Life:
...Until three of the Æsir
a**embled there,
strong and benevolent,
came to the sea;
they found on the shore
two feeble trees,
Ask and Embla,
with no fixed fate
They had no breath,
they had no spirit,
neither warmth nor voice
nor fine complexion;
Odin gave them breath,
Haenir gave them spirit,
Lodur gave them warm life
and fine complexion
Sorrowed by solitude
and astray - until I met you
Man is man's joy
