text and translation
Eigi sátuð, jöfra hneitir
ættumgóðr, at rofnar sættir
— stirðan bjoggu hirðmenn harðir
herskips streng — í kyrðum lengi.
Mætum helt fyrir Elfi útan
— auðit léztu flotnum dauða —
— nauða vissu nýjar súðir —
Norðmanna gramr fýriborðum.
Eigi sátuð lengi í kyrðum, {ættumgóðr hneitir jöfra}, at rofnar sættir; harðir hirðmenn bjoggu stirðan streng herskips. {Gramr Norðmanna} helt mætum fýriborðum fyrir útan Elfi; léztu flotnum auðit dauða; nýjar súðir vissu nauða.
‘You did not sit long in quiet, high-born striker of princes [RULER], with the truces broken; the tough retainers readied the hard anchor rope of the warship. The ruler of the Norwegians [= Hákon] directed the splendid fir-planks off the Götaälv; you decreed death for the men; the new plankings experienced hardship.’
notes and context
By 1256 the Danes had not yet paid the compensation they had promised for the attack on the Norw. ships in 1247. King Hákon summoned his troops again and led his fleet, 300 ships, to Halland. The st. describes the launching of the fleet and the voyage to Halland.
