hríð vas snǫrp branda;
fúst vas fár randa
til fjǫrnis landa.
Fellu fleinbǫrvar;
flugu af streng ǫrvar;
sungu hôtt hjǫrvar

The troop used its hands; {the storm of blades} [BATTLE] was fierce; {the harm of shields} [SWORD] was eager for {the lands of the helmet} [HEADS]. {Spear-trees} [WARRIORS] fell; arrows flew from the bowstring; swords sang loudly against readied shields.
