Dronningen føder en smuk pige,
der har hår så sort som ibenholt,
en hud så hvid som sne, læber,
der er så røde som blod.

The Queen gives birth to a beautiful daughter,
with hair dark as ebony,
skin like white snow, lips,
as red as blood.

Porfyhr, what is the verb tense here? Should it be past tense?

Kafetzou, it is present, but in a poetical way. It could also have been future (but that was considered vulgar).
Talking about nobilities, esp kings and queens, who never gave birth to anything but the loveliest amongst children.

The text should be regarded like "gossip" about what the child would be, boy/girl, a girl was a tragedy in it self so one hoped that she would have good looks in order to be married to a noble man.

Did it make a bit more sense of the tense?

I'm still unclear about the verb tense - is it a wish? If so, it should be "May the queen give birth". Otherwise, it needs to be one of the following:

gives
is giving
will give

I suspect from the title (dedication), that it should be "may the queen give birth", but as you know, I can't read Swedish.

Porfyhr, this one is still not correct. Could you please read my note above and correct it accordingly? Thanks.

Well Kafetzou,

the only possible way to express it nearly is "gives".It is taken for granted that this is what will be born by a queen.

For the first time I think Latin would have had a more exact expression.

Living in present time, would you be so kind and exchange it into "gives" please.
