Notes

This sturdy gate set in a hedge
drives 'tween the in and out a wedge:
it bids a friend a welcome stay
and tells a foe to go away.

A translation into Dutch: (HEK)

Zie hier voor onze stek
daar staat een stevig hek
dat vrienden binnenlaat
en ons hoedt voor het kwaad.

Behold in front of our abode
there stands a sturdy gate/fence
that allow friends to enter
and guards us from evil.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ВОРОТА)

В ограде крепкие врата -
Границы ключ здесь навсегда:
Приветствуют они друзей,
Враги бегут, кто поумней.

Strong gates in the fence -
The borders key is here forever:
they greet friends;
enemies run, who is smarter.
