Sæk þú Snarvendil;
sigr mun honum fylgja,
hoskr, ef þú, hilmir, vilt
þér í hendi bera.
Koss vil ek af þér
klénan þiggja;
þá muntu mímung
mér ór hendi fá.

prose order
Take Snarvendill; victory will follow it, if you, wise prince, want to carry it in your hand. I want to get a nice kiss from you; then you will get the sword from my hand. |
context: Vargeisa tells Hjálmþér, who wants the sword she is carrying, that he can have it if he gives her a kiss. The stanza is introduced with the clause henni varð þá ljóð á munni ‘then a song came to her mouth’ (for the significance of this expression, see Quinn 1998).
