Old English
Is byþ ofereald, ungemetum slidor,
glisnaþ glæshluttur gimmum gelicust,
flor forste geworuht, fæger ansyne.

Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery;
it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems;
it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.
| Norwegian
Ís ko,llum brú bræiða;
blindan þarf at læiða.
|
Ice we call the broad bridge;
the blind man must be led.
| Icelandic
Íss er árbörkr
ok unnar þak
ok feigra manna fár.
glacies jöfurr.
|
Ice
bark of rivers
and roof of the wave
and destruction of the doomed.
