Gætt at: Gautrekr þótti
góðr illr kyni þjóðar;
saddr varð svanr, en hræddisk
seint, skjótt, konungr, Þróttar.
Allvald frák, þanns óðisk,
opt, sjaldan, styr valda;
vǫrðr gekk fróns, né fœrðisk,
framm, aptr, í bǫð ramma. | Gætt at: Gautrekr þótti góðr, illr kyni þjóðar; {svanr Þróttar} varð saddr skjótt, en konungr hræddisk seint. Frák allvald, þanns óðisk sjaldan, valda opt styr; {vǫrðr fróns} gekk framm í ramma bǫð; né fœrðisk aptr. Listen: Gautrekr seemed good [and] bad to the kin of men; {the swan of Þróttr <= Óðinn>} [RAVEN/EAGLE] was sated quickly, and the king was frightened slowly. I heard that the mighty ruler, who was seldom afraid, often caused uproar; {the guardian of the land} [RULER] went forwards in the strong battle; he did not pull back.
