Gull kná (greppar)
glóa (róa);
váss eru seggir
samir framir.
Eik má und jǫfri
una bruna;
þá nýtr vísi
viðar skriðar. | Gull kná glóa; greppar róa; framir seggir eru samir váss. Eik má una bruna und jǫfri; þá nýtr vísi skriðar viðar. Gold glows; men row; the outstanding fellows are suited to hardship. The oak-ship rejoices in speeding beneath the prince; then the leader enjoys the swiftness of the ship.
