Hardmaal
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Lie ska kvinna. Lie for far sin. Lie for bror sin. Lie for man sin. Lie for son sin. For mein ho mana paa mannens vejer. Mæ smeikjande song aa lovmykne læte. Lo aa leika mæ logande eld. Døivde mæ hildr framhuga drengjer. Leidde paa villstig Leitande sellar. Men sæl ska ho vera i Himmerik. Merg ska i man vera. Skobeitt ska 'n stande. Kaldhuga kvea mot kvinnebøner. I berrleg bardage sverd svinge sælar æ en sova i kvinnefang. Men saart ska han svie i skiringseld. Hardhug i heite logar ska linnas.

Das harte Wort
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Weib hat zu tragen Leid für den Vater, Leid für den Bruder, Leid für den Gatten, Leid für die Söhne, weil Weh' es bannet auf Mannes Wege. Mit schmeichelndem Sang und fesselnden Gesten, lachend und spielend mit lodernder Flamm' fesselt sein Zauber die mutigsten Burschen, leitet auf Irrweg' suchende Seelen. Doch selig es werde im Himmelreich. Stark sich der Mann zeige. Stolz soll er schreiten, kalt sich erwehren des Weibes Bitten. Im Kampf und Streite das Schwert schwingen soll er lieber als rasten in Weibes Arm. Doch Wunden ihm schlage die Läuterungsglut. Hartherz in heißer Flamme erweiche.
