karla bǫrn ok kerlinga,
es Rǫgnvaldr síðr réttilbeini
hróðmǫgr Haralds á Haðalandi. | Þats lítil vô, at vér síðim, bǫrn karla ok kerlinga, es Rǫgnvaldr réttilbeini, hróðmǫgr Haralds, síðr á Haðalandi. It is [does] little harm that we perform sorcery, children of lowly men and women, when Rǫgnvaldr réttilbeini, Haraldr’s glorious son, performs sorcery in Hadeland.
