Anglo-Saxon
Template:Runic 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
Template:Runic Íss er árbörkr
ok unnar þak
ok feigra manna fár.


Ice is bark of rivers
and roof of the wave
and destruction of the doomed.

Old Norwegian
Template:Runic Ís kǫllum brú bræiða;
blindan þarf at læiða.


Ice is called the broad bridge;
the blind man must be led.
