— lǫgr gekk of skip — fǫgru
— gjalfrstóðum reist grœði
glæstum — ár it næsta.
Skokkr lá dýrr á døkkri
(Danir vôru þá) bôru
— skeiðr sá herr fyr hauðri
hlaðnar — (illa staðnir). | Bjótt leiðangr af fǫgru láði it næsta ár; lǫgr gekk of skip; reist grœði {glæstum gjalfrstóðum}. Dýrr skokkr lá á døkkri bôru; herr sá hlaðnar skeiðr fyr hauðri; þá vôru Danir illa staðnir. You fitted out a fleet from the fair land the next year; the sea went over the ships; you carved the ocean {with the splendid surge-steeds} [SHIPS]. The precious bottom-board rested on the dark wave; people saw loaded warships off the shore; then the Danes were in a bad situation.
