text and translation
Gerðak jarli ørr at vári;
þat vas mér þá títt en þetta nú.
Gerðak jarli ørr at vári; þat vas mér þá títt, en þetta nú.
‘I gave the jarl a scar in the spring; that occupied me then, and this now. ’
notes and context
See Introduction above. The speaker and his stanza are introduced in Fsk, Þá var annarr til leiddr. Sá mælti þetta ok hló at ‘Then another was led forward. He spoke this and laughed’. In Jvs, the introduction is more elaborate. The outcome of the scene is that the Jómsvíkingr is offered quarter by Eiríkr jarl, presumably on account of his bold conduct, and he accepts.
For a later skaldic account of the executions following the battle of Hjǫrungavágr, and of the quarter given to Vagn Ákason and twelve others, see Bjbp Jóms 40-5.
