ef röskr vili hermenn;
verr samir hoskum hilmi
hringa fjölð en drengja.
Ilt er í borghlið baugum
brandrauðum fram standa;
allmarga veit ek jöfra,
þá er auðr lifir, dauða. | Spari manngi {röf Rínar}, ef röskr vili hermenn; fjölð hringa samir hoskum hilmi verr en drengja. Ilt er standa fram í borghlið brandrauðum baugum; ek veit allmarga jöfra dauða, þá er auðr lifir. Let no person be sparing of {the amber of the Rhine} [GOLD], if a brave man should want soldiers; a multitude of rings befits a wise ruler worse than one of men. It is no good entering the gate of a stronghold with fire-red rings; I know of very many kings who are dead, while their wealth lives on.
