Beiði ek Geirrøð         með goða hylli,
kappa inn stærsta,         koma mér at bjarga,
ok beðju mína         beint sem aðra;
þarf ek nú allra         þeira gengis.
 
‘I implore Geirrøðr, with the favour of the gods, the greatest champion, to come and rescue me, and my bed-fellow likewise along with the others; now I need the help of them all.
Nú mun ek kasta         kápu minni,
þeiri er gör var         af grön jöfra
en hlaðbúin         á hliðar báðar;
mun ek hennar móðr         missa verða.
 
‘Now I will cast off my cloak, the one that was made from the moustaches of princes, and edged with lace on both sides; exhausted, I will have to let go of it.
Þeir elta mik         allsýsliga
Oddr ok Sírnir         orrostu frá.
 
‘They are pursuing me very quickly, Oddr and Sírnir, from the fight.

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.
