Bjǫrn frák brýndu járni
(bragð gótt vas þat) lagðan,
gerði Guðlaugr fyrðum
geysihark, í barka;
auðkýfingr lét ævi
óblíðr fyr Grásíðu;
hvǫss vas hon heldr at kyssa;
harðmúlaðr vas Skúli.

Els, varð mynd á môlum,
meir á skylt til þeira
stála hjarls en Sturlu
starr reifandi Skeifu;
seggr vas samr at þiggja
sárbœtr, es því mœtir,
margr verðr hræddr of hodda
hald, en tregr at gjalda.

Information about a text: poem, sequence of stanzas, or prose work

This page is used for different resources. For groups of stanzas such as poems, you will see the verse text and, where published, the translation of each stanza. These are also links to information about the individual stanzas.

For prose works you will see a list of the stanzas and fragments in that prose work, where relevant, providing links to the individual stanzas.

Where you have access to introduction(s) to the poem or prose work in the database, these will appear in the ‘introduction’ section.

The final section, ‘sources’ is a list of the manuscripts that contain the prose work, as well as manuscripts and prose works linked to stanzas and sections of a text.
