‘I drew the lot to steer the ship from Sylte, and the lady will hardly hear that I’m daunted — I have a prospect of a storm hitting the reindeer of the prow-plain [SEA > SHIP] —, the one [ship] that Óláfr inn digri (‘the Stout’) owned, slopes of the flame of the yew-bow’s path [ARM/HAND > GOLD > WOMEN]; the king himself was robbed of victory in summer.’
notes and context
Hákon jarl Eiríksson brings a force to Valldalr (Valldal) and seizes ships belonging to Óláfr Haraldsson. His follower Jǫkull Bárðarson gets to command the king’s ship Skeggi ‘Man’ (?) (according to Fsk), or his flagship Visundr ‘Bison’ (according to ÓH-Hkr), and exults over this in his stanza.
