text and translation
Tak hér við horni, er þér Hörðr færir;
gef nú ró reiði ok ræðum þá síðan.
Þú hefir oss hólpit, en vér yðr borgit
öllum ór ánauðum; ynðis vér njótum.
Tak hér við horni, er Hörðr færir þér; gef nú reiði ró ok ræðum þá síðan. Þú hefir hólpit oss, en vér borgit yðr ór öllum ánauðum; njótum vér ynðis.
‘Receive here the horn which Hǫrðr brings you; give peace to your wrath now, and afterwards we will talk. You have helped us, and we have saved you from all oppressions; let us enjoy pleasure. ’
notes and context
In a light-hearted and successful attempt to calm Hjálmþér’s mood over having lost face in finding the true identities of those formerly enchanted figures with whom he had interacted, not knowing who they were, King Hringr offers him a drinking horn and hospitality, which Hjálmþér finally accepts.
Hjálmþérsrímur IX, 74-7 (Finnur Jónsson 1905-22, II, 65-6) cover the sentiments of this stanza.
