— engu snýk í Viðurs feng
háði; kunnum hróðrsmíð
haga — of minn brag.
hramma, þats berk framm,
Billings á burar full
bjarkar hefk lagit mark.
hanglúðrs gæi-Þrúðr,
en drafnar loga Lofn
lǫstu rækir vinfǫst.
fjarðbeins afarhrein
nýri (sǫng nadd-Freyr)
nisting (of mjaðar Hrist).
bríkar ok mitt lík
— rekkar nemi dauðs drykk
Dvalins — í einn sal.
— Fundins mærða*k salar grund —
(fastan lagðak flagðs gust)
fjarðar (á brims garð).
