lang før, ǽn sturm farð kvintlaten
long before, a storm fared to kvintlat

øln seiktur hafn i vaggna, þǿgg ǽn møður lǽft ut.
all sought haven in the walls, though a man remained out

kǽles farð þveo og þætt veskt hvi þeo lǽft.
kahless fared to him and he asked why he remained

<<Akk færa ney>> mænnrinn segð
"i fear not" the man said

<<akk skal bjarga ney minn grimm i stǽnn og lim.
"i shall shelter not my face in stone and mortar

Akk skal standa før vændǽ og þætt skal ægir mikk>>
i shall stand before the wind and it shall respect me"

kǽles ægirt þeos kyrt og farð i til vaggna.
kahless respected his choice and fared in to the walls

daggoftra, styrmrinn ga og mænnrinn var deyt
dayafter the storm came and the man was dead

sva vændǽ ægirna ǽn dolt.
so the wind respects not a fool
