Woman is called the tree of gold, the weeper of Freyja, and the dis of the horn. Bragi explains how the skald may draw images from the world of goddesses and from the mysterious disir of the old Nordic cults to honor and portray woman.
Konu má kalla tré gulls, þvíat konur bera gull á sér sem tré bera lauf. Hún heitir ok grátr Freyju, þvíat Freyja grætr þá er Óðr er fjarri henni, ok eru tár hennar gull.
Woman may be called the tree of gold, for women wear gold upon themselves as trees bear leaves. She is also called the weeper of Freyja, for Freyja weeps when Odr is far from her and her tears are gold.
Kona heitir ok dís hornsins, þvíat dísirnar eru verndargyðjur ok þjóna mönnum með hornum. Svá er konan líkjuð við þær er hlúa at mönnum.
Woman is also called the dis of the horn, for the disir are guardian goddesses who serve men with drinking horns. Thus woman is likened to those who tend to men with care.
