text and translation
Háðisk heilli góðu
hildr, sem Magnús vildi;
selr of sigr at þylja
sóknstœrir mér fœri.
Brand rauð buðlungr Þrœnda;
berr íðula síðan
hann ept hervíg þrennin
hæra skjǫld at gjǫldum.
Hildr háðisk góðu heilli, sem Magnús vildi; {sóknstœrir} selr mér fœri at þylja of sigr. {Buðlungr Þrœnda} rauð brand; ept þrennin hervíg berr hann hæra skjǫld íðula síðan at gjǫldum.
‘The battle was waged with good fortune, as Magnús wished; the onslaught-sweller [WARRIOR] gives me opportunity to recite about victory. The prince of the Þrœndir [NORWEGIAN KING = Magnús] reddened the sword; after threefold pitched battle he carries the higher shield ever afterwards in repayment.’
notes and context
The sagas summarise Magnús’s successes in Denmark, and Okík Magn 1 and Arn Hryn 14 are quoted. The present st. follows the statement that Magnús fought three battles against Sveinn Úlfsson (only Hkr specifies three).
In H-Hr the st. is introduced, Sem hér segir ‘As it says here’ and Þjóðólfr is not named, so the implication would be that this is by Arnórr or else anonymous.
