(víðis) áðr ok síðan
(greppr hlýðir þá góðu
gallópnis vel spjalli).
(fekk ungr) þars spjǫr sungu,
— nú fiðr ǫld, at eldumk —
(aldrbót) ok Sigvalda,
þás til móts við mœti
malmþings í dyn hjalma
sunnr fyr Svǫlðrar mynni
sárlauk roðinn bôrum.
árflogni gafk sárar,
Hlǫkk í hundraðsflokki
hvítinga mik líta.
rauðk fyr Svǫlð til auðar;
herfylgins bark Hǫlga
haugþak saman baugum.
morðelds, þars vér felldumsk,
Freyju tôr at fleiri
fárbjóðr, at þar vôrum.
