1866‘Tis to me doubtfulthat I could have comefrom the Jötun’s courts,had not Gunnlöd aided me,that good damsel,over whom I laid my arm.Olive Bray · stanza 106

Ifi ’rumk á, at vǽrak enn kominnjötna görþum ór,ef Gunnlaþar né nytak, ennar góþu konu,þeirars lögþumk arm yfir.English translation
I misdoubt me if ever again I had comefrom the realms of the Jötun race,had I not served me of Gunnlod, sweet woman,her whom I held in mine arms.Source
