Sanoi seppo Ilmarinen: "Annikki sisarueni!
Taon sulle sukkulaisen, taon sormukset soreat,
kahet, kolmet korvaskullat, viiet, kuuet vyöllisvitjat:
lämmitä kyly metinen, saustuta simainen sauna
hienoisilla halkosilla, pienillä pirastehilla!
Laai pikkuisen poroa, lipeäistä liuvahuta,
millä päätäni pesisin, varruttani valkoaisin
sykysyisistä sysistä, taonnoista talvisista!"

Ilmarinen said: "Anniki, my sister!
I will make a shuttle for you, lovely rings for your fingers,
Two or three pair for your ears, five, six hangers for your belt.
Now just heat a sauna for me, make the vapour sweet as honey,
Make the fire up with small kindling, sticks and splinters quickly burning.
With a little lye and ahses, make some lye soap ready for me,
So that I can clean my head, scrub my body till I'm white,
Wash away the soot of autumn and the ash of winter's work."

--Kalevala 18:259-273
