Old English
Nyd byþ nearu on breostan;
weorþeþ hi þeah oft niþa bearnum to helpe
and to hæle gehwæþre,
gif hi his hlystaþ æror.

Trouble is oppressive to the heart;
yet often it proves a source of help
and salvation to the children of men,
to everyone who heeds it betimes.
| Norwegian
Nauðr gerer næppa koste;
nøktan kælr í froste.
|
Constraint gives scant choice;
a naked man is chilled by the frost.
| Icelandic
Nauð er Þýjar þrá
ok þungr kostr
ok vássamlig verk.
opera niflungr
|
Constraint
grief of the bond-maid
and state of oppression
and toilsome work.
