valði of nái stirða
hrafn inn hvassleiti;
hrundi á borð sveiti.
Þess réð þó dála
— þrymr vas hôr stála —
eyðis undglóða
Eirekr skip hrjóða. | Vagn felldi virða; inn hvassleiti hrafn valði of stirða nái; sveiti hrundi á borð. Eirekr réð þó hrjóða dála skip {þess eyðis {undglóða}}; {þrymr stála} vas hôr. Vagn felled warriors; the sharp-eyed raven chose between stiff corpses; blood flowed onto the gunwale. Eiríkr managed nevertheless to clear completely the ship {of that destroyer {of wound-embers}} [SWORDS > WARRIOR = Vagn]; {the din of steel weapons} [BATTLE] was loud.
