Hverr ali blóði byrsta
bens rauðsylgjum ylgi,
nema svát gramr of gildi
gráð dag margan vargi?
Gefr oddviti undir
egg nýbitnar vitni;
hann sér Fenris fitjar
framm klóloðnar roðna.
Hverr ali ylgi, byrsta blóði, rauðsylgjum bens, nema svát gramr of gildi vargi gráð margan dag? Oddviti gefr vitni undir, nýbitnar egg; hann sér fitjar Fenris, klóloðnar, roðna framm.
Who might nourish the she-wolf, bristled with blood, with red slurps of the wound [BLOOD], unless the ruler would satisfy the wolf’s hunger many a day? The war-leader gives the wolf wounds, newly bitten by the blade; he sees the hands of Fenrir <wolf> [PAWS], claw-shaggy, turn red at the tips.
