Höfðu jarls liðar
útnes hroðit,
rógþings vanir
sem refar hundum.
Unnum vit Hjálmarr,
er hinig fórum,
eldi ok usla
eytt langskipum.

Liðar jarls, vanir rógþings sem refar hundum, höfðu hroðit útnes. Vit Hjálmarr unnum eytt langskipum eldi ok usla, er fórum hinig.

text
prose order
The jarl’s troops accustomed {to the strife-assembly} [BATTLE] like foxes to dogs, had cleared the outlying headland. Hjálmarr and I destroyed the longships with fire and embers when we got there. |
notes: The relationship of this stanza to events reported in the prose saga is rather tenuous, but it probably concerns a passage (Ǫrv 1888, 66-7) in which Oddr and Hjálmarr and their men take on a group of berserks in Selund (ModDan. Sjælland, ModEngl. Zealand). Oddr becomes separated from Hjálmarr when he pursues the berserks on land, while Hjálmarr clears their ship.
