Old English

Ur byþ anmod ond oferhyrned,
felafrecne deor, feohteþ mid hornum
mære morstapa; þæt is modig wuht.


     The aurochs is proud and has great horns;
     it is a very savage beast and fights with its horns;
     a great ranger of the moors, it is a creature of mettle.

Norwegian

Úr er af illu jarne;
opt løypr ræinn á hjarne.


     Dross comes from bad iron;
     the reindeer often races over the frozen snow.

Icelandic
Úr er skýja grátr

ok skára þverrir
ok hirðis hatr.
umbre vísi

     lamentation of the clouds
     and ruin of the hay-harvest
     and abomination of the shepherd
