- Translated transcription: She spends some time in deep contemplation, then one day confides in her uncle, who turns out to have long accustomed himself with the thought that his daring niece would wish to set out as a shield-maiden to gain experience no less than fame. He now informs her that he will outfit a ship for her, with warriors and everything required for a Viking expedition. He has only been awaiting her confidences.
Moved and surprised, the young girl accepts the magnanimous gift. In her heart she does not doubt that her uncle as well has been under the influence of Óðinn.
