Ja, hører mig, Brødre,
I Skjoldunge-Land,
Hvis Ammer og Mødre
Var Døttre af Dan,
Hvis Hamre har hødet,
Og tonet med Klang, ...- Hear me, brothers, in the Land of Skjoldungs, you whose nurses and mothers were daughters of Dan, whose hammers have threatened and rung loudly...
1919, Johannes V. Jensen, Norne-Gæst, page 230:Folk var hensynsløsere nu end i Fortiden, hvor man hødede meget og larmede livsfarligt en Ugestid, uden Blodsudgydelse, nu stak man tiende og paa Stedet, havde gjort Knivene lange.- People were more reckless now than in the past, when they threatened a lot and made a dangerous noise a week, without shed of blood, now they stabbed silently and immediately, they had made the knives longer.
