— bitu hjalm svalir malmar —
í háturnum hjarna,
heitr, kaldr, þars dreif sveiti*.
Strǫng vas guðr, áðr gengi
(geirmót) konungs Jóta,
bendr sparn almr til unda,
(óx) þvarr, boga stǫrrum. | {Kaldr benfasti} varð bresta í {háturnum hjarna}, þars heitr sveiti* dreif; svalir malmar bitu hjalm. Guðr vas strǫng, áðr gengi {konungs Jóta} þvarr; {geirmót} óx; bendr almr sparn {stǫrrum boga} til unda. {The cold wound-flame} [SWORD] had to crack in {high towers of the brain} [HEADS] where hot blood spurted; cool weapons bit the helmet. The battle was strong before the company {of the king of the Jótar} [DANISH KING = Haraldr] diminished; {the spear-meeting} [BATTLE] intensified; the bent elm-bow kicked {sedge-grass of the bow} [ARROWS] towards wounds.
