<p>A goat called Hei&eth;r&uacute;n stands up [on its hind-legs] in <a title="Valhalla" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla">Valhalla</a> biting the buds off the branches of that very famous tree which is called <a class="mw-redirect" title="Lerad" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lerad">L&aelig;ra&eth;</a>. From her teats runs the mead with which every day she fills a cauldron, which is so big that all the Einherjar can drink their fill from it. - <em>Young's translation</em></p>
