Víg lézt, Vinða mýgir,

{Mýgir Vinða}, lézt of unnin rǫmm víg, kunn virðum; Þrœndr drifu ríkt und randir; en þat vas skǫmmu. Enn fyr sunnan Serkland hjó snarr þengill drengi; gramr kunni gǫng at gunni; vas þat fyr lǫngu.
‘Oppressor of the Wends [= Haraldr], you waged furious wars, known to men; the Þrœndir pressed on mightily beneath shield-rims; and that was recently. And, south of the land of the Saracens, the swift ruler cut down warriors; the lord knew how to advance in battle; that was long ago.’
