Anglo-Saxon Is bẏþ oferceald, ungemetum slidor, glisnaþ glæshluttur gimmum gelicust, flor forste geƿoruht, fæger ansẏne. | Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery; it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems; it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon. | |
Old Icelandic Íss er árbörkr ok unnar þak ok feigra manna fár. glacies jöfurr. | Ice is bark of rivers and roof of the wave and destruction of the doomed. | |
Old Norwegian Ís kǫllum brú bræiða; blindan þarf at læiða. | Ice is called the broad bridge; the blind man must be led. |
