mildr, þá er saklauss vildi
einn fyr öllum mönnum,
eyhjálms konungr, deyja. |
Krists vinnr krapt ins hæsta
krossmark viðum hnossa
alls bezt; lofar æztan
öll dýrð konung fyrða. |
{Mildr konungr {eyhjálms}} lýsti mesta miskunn, þá er einn vildi deyja saklauss fyr öllum mönnum. Krossmark ins hæsta Krists vinnr krapt alls bezt {viðum hnossa}; öll dýrð lofar {æztan konung fyrða}.
{The tender king {of the island-helmet}} [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)] showed the greatest mercy when he alone willed to die guiltless for all men. The cross-sign of the most-high Christ gains power best of all {for trees of treasures} [MEN]; all glory exalts {the highest king of men} [RULER = Christ].
Mss: B(11v), 399a-bˣ
Readings: [2] saklauss: so 399a‑bˣ, ‘saklau[...]s’ B [5-8] abbrev. as ‘Kristr vinnr kr‑’ B, 399a‑bˣ
Editions: Skj: Anonyme digte og vers [XIII], C. 1. Líknarbraut 21: AII, 154, BII, 166, Skald II, 87; Sveinbjörn Egilsson 1844, 41, Rydberg 1907, 15, 50, Tate 1974, 66.
Notes: [2] saklauss ‘guiltless’: Restoration of ‘s’ based upon 399a-b and grammatical need (m. nom. sg.). — [4] eyhjálms ‘of the island-helmet’:
This is the only instance in skaldic poetry of ey ‘island’ in a sky-kenning.
