barðviggs, næri garði
þjófs lét hǫnd um hrífa
hjálmþollr Sǫðulkollu;
sjá mun Freyr at fleirum
fullsterkr svaðilverkum
Þundar skýs en þessu;
þat er heldr at mér beldi.
This text is from an old edition
(raun er oss mikil) hrossi
slyttimákr (at slíku)
slægr frá næstum bæjum;
heraðsmenn skulu hvinni
hefning fyr þat nefna;
bera mun búk at hváru
blán, ef ek næða hánum.

heðan í róstu-veðri
hart á hrossi svǫrtu
hjǫrgráðs boði áðan?
hann mun heldr at sǫnnu
hundeygr í dag undan,
djarfr er dáðum horfinn
drengr sjá, rekaz lengi.
This text is from an old edition
hver verðr raun á launum?
hverr sá hvinn et stærra?
hvar mun kuflbúinn dufla?
