May the prince hear the beginning of his poem; the king’s praise will be raised; may he note correctly the forms of my panegyric.
[3] rétt ‘correctly’: From the point of view of word order, it seems preferable to take this adv. as modifying nemi ‘may note’ (l. 3) (so NN §620) rather than mun ofrask ‘will be raised’ (l. 2) (so Skj B).
