Borg lét brennuvarga
bjórstofnandi klofna
Sónar sex ok einum
(sák deili þess) heila;
bergstjóra gleðr bôru
blikstríðanda síðan
hregg, en hafnak muggu
heldr, síts Kolbein feldum.

(skjalden (jeg) lod syv indebrændingsmænds hoveder kløves; jeg så det tydeligt nok; kampen (el. sindets?) glæder (glædes) siden guldbryderen (mig), og jeg vrager snarest sørgmodigheden, siden jeg fældede Kolbein.)
