gapir hann á sjǫt manna
olmr und œgishjalmi,
Ingolfr kominn hingat.

Þórmóðr þotit;
þat's ólogit.

Þótt enn sjau eða átta

raunsljóvir sik prófi,
[verða nadda Nirðir,
nú emk út kominn, lúta]
víst munk fimm et fæsta
fella einn, kvað Gellir.

Víst eru farnir flestir
fôlu hests et mesta,
þótt lýðir bǫl bíði,
bræðendr at harðræðum;
menn eru seinir sunnan
(slíkt heyrik opt) með Lopti
stála strangra éla
stefni ráns at hefna.

Fagna ek þvís ógnir

návaldr of fár aldar.

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.
