allbrátt, er tók nátta,
út gekk hirð með Hǫrða
hildingi vegmildum;
náði Þorgils þjóða
þrekbráðr lofi ráða,
þars eimr á lið ljóma
logreitar brá heitum.

hergarða Þorvarði,
norðr fór herr með hirði
harðr til Eyjafjarðar;
ok valkastar vestan
veðrbliks liði miklu
herði-Baldr at hildi
hjalmfaldinn þrǫng aldar.

ríkr valslǫngu bríkar,
at þars aldir sóttusk,
odd í ferðarbroddi;
hlífði brjóst, en brustu
brandorpin ský randa,
hǫldr gekk hratt fyr skjǫldu,
hringdrífs frǫmu lífi.
