text and translation
Oss munat ekkja kenna
ung né mær, at værim,
þars gerðum svip sverða,
síð í borg of morgun.
Ruddumk umb með oddi;
eru merki þar verka;
þó lætr Gerðr í Gǫrðum
gollhrings við mér skolla.
Ekkja né ung mær munat kenna oss, at værim síð of morgun í borg, þars gerðum {svip sverða}. Ruddumk umb með oddi; eru merki verka þar; þó lætr {Gerðr gollhrings} í Gǫrðum skolla við mér.
‘Neither the widow nor the young maiden can accuse us [me] of being late in the morning into the stronghold where we made a swinging of swords [BATTLE]. I cleared a path with the spear-point; there are marks of my deeds there; yet the Gerðr <goddess> of the gold ring [WOMAN] in Russia ridicules me.’
notes and context
[1] ekkja ‘the widow’: See Notes to st. 3/1 above, Hharð Lv 1/2 and Hharð Lv 14/2, 3.
