Hugr er í Hængi;         hvass er Dragvendill;
beit hann orð Óðins,         sem ekki væri.
Bráz nú Baldrs faðir;         brigt er at trúa honum;
njóttu heill handa;         hér munum skiljaz.

Hugr er í Hængi; Dragvendill er hvass; hann beit orð Óðins, sem ekki væri. Nú bráz {faðir Baldrs}; at trúa honum er brigt; njóttu heill handa; hér munum skiljaz.

There is courage in Hœngr (‘Salmon’); Dragvendill is sharp; he bit Óðinn’s word, as if it were nothing. Now {the father of Baldr <god>} [= Óðinn] has been deceptive; to put one’s trust in him is uncertain; enjoy safe and sound [the work of] your hands; here we will part.
